p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- Speaking of mobile throttling, “I smell a new ad,” says HiVolt on dslreports.

Say what?

“Bell. We’re the better throttler.”

BryceS explains »»»

In the coming weeks Bell will be making GPS satellite locks performed by free/3rd party apps* take 2-10 minutes instead of the standard 15-20 seconds to make GPSNav [Sold separately] look like a better product with it’s 15-20 second GPS lock.

Blackberry Maps, Google Maps, etc.

The following phones are affected:
BlackBerry 8830 World Edition.
BlackBerry 8130 Pearl.
BlackBerry 8330 Curve.

Various quotes include:
“Clients should be using GPS Nav from Bell Mobility / High quality locates are only available by using GPS Nav”
