Pharos bluetooth GPS will not work. Nor will TomTom Navigator.

Found out that Verizon has intentionally disabled some of the bluetooth functions, including SPP (serial port protocol). Pharos BT uses this protocol to communicate with the device.

I am told Verizon did this intentionally to gain a competitive advantage. They are planning to offer a navigation function of their own in the future and do not want competition. so rather than deliver the phone as designed to us and allowing us to make a choice, they have intentionally shut down some of the device's function.

Would love to knoiw if anyone discovers a fix for this.
