Thanks - I will have my brother try this out.
It doesn't solve navigating to a contact's address or to an address from the web, though, right?
It doesn't allow you to uninstall VZ Navigator?

If you are a Verizon customer or soon to be customer, what do you do if you love the design. resolution, camera of the 8x but want the app exclusives, wide screen, battery life of the 822 yet are enticed by the high end features of Samsung odyssey coming at the end of the year?
Do you buy now? If so, which one? Or do you wait?
I work for Verizon and currently Verizon is in process of negotiation to bring three new devices to its line up by the end of March. However the WP sales are very disappointing and the faith of WP8 is probably will be the same as WP7. I am hoping WP will be successful as a whole so it can push Verizon to be more WP friendly
it is impossible for Verizon wireless corporate stores not to have the phones on display. Your experience was probably before the launch day ( during the online pre-order). Also sales reps receive"bonus" for every non iPhone they sale and double bonus on every windows phones. Also if they hit their windows phone quota the store will receive rebates. Basically biggest incentive for reps to sale WPs as they get a bigger paycheck. Believe me Verizon would love to sale windows phone 8 as it is the least costly line up with the highest profit.Some of that blame has to rest with Verizon. My local corporate store and the other Verizon reseller in town both have no working WP8 phones on display to play with; in fact they don't even have a non-working sample on display. They do have the 822 in stock but not where anyone can see them. They have no 8X's in stock, though they do have a non-working sample under the counter. I have read on these forums about very different experiences at other Verizon stores where they are actually pushing the phones so at best it is not consistent.
I stopped by an AT&T store over the weekend and the first question they asked me was if I had seen the new Window's phone and they took me right to the Lumia 920 (though it was out of stock)
IMO, for Verizon to do better with WP8 they need to get better hardware, especially for the early adopters, as well as do a better/more consistent job of selling the phones and OS.

I was in the store late last week. They told me they couldn't get their demo 822 on the network so they didn't have it on display. They offered to show me one of the ones from the back; though they were far more interested in showing me the Droid DNA as it was a "much better phone".

That rumor is based on absolutely nothing fyi. I've heard it too but there has not been a credible source noted yet. I'd personally be shocked if they did this. Sort of makes the 920 exclusivity borderline pointless.
