I was looking for a smartphone to replace my Axim x50v to get the cellular service but still keeping the wifi function to get free internet access when near of gateway. But moreover I found the telus htc touch diamond with a GPS built-in feature. This feature is described on the htc web site as a function to avoid relying on the well known NAV GPS service.  But I did some research and again....Beware I am not sure about what I have read on various forums but it seems that they are frying before selling the built-in GPS function obviously to ensure collecting greedily their monthly 10$ for their nav GPS service. It looks very bad because if someone were to buy this device by just looking on the htc web site , http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=46286 , he would be on the bad track. Does it sound like a possibility like going into legal action on them (and also on other cellular operator ) to stop such bahavoir or get finally what we are paying for. Are they allowed to do such thing ? I would be very happy to know what Telus would have to say if they were asked in the public place... Just imagine that you'd buy a computer but the retail merchant decide to keep the network card working only if you pass by its internet service at high price. I guess, You would be probably slightly upset...

But hey Bell looks like they are doing the same with their wifi functions on the HTC Touch or they choose to sell a CDMA version happily to keep flowing in the money.  Only Roger seems to keep themselves from such nasty ways....

It seems that I will probably have to endure my axim x50v for a time to come until I get answers... or GO ROGERS !!!
