New Verizon OS unlocks GPS in BlackBerry Pearl and Curve


<br />

Verizon has released a new version of firmware for the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and Curve 8330. This new OS version 4.5.0.97 allows users with a Verizon Peral and Curve to use the GPS function via BlackBerry Maps instead of VZW Navigator. Unfortnantly it seems you still can’t use the Google maps application. At this time it isn’t sure if Verizon/RIM unlocked the GPS by mistake or not.

To download the new Verizon Build of OS 4.5. simply head on over to vzw.smithmicro.com and download it.
