I think that they can make Verizon enable it if they do win. Don't these phones have everything but the firmware?
Pretty much, yup. GSM users would never put up with this sort of crap. I don't know why CDMA users do.

Re: Tear Them A New Arse!!!

I have 4 Verizon accounts and am gradually moving them to T-Mobile as contracts expire. Wonder why there is no security issue with my GSM phones?

Because GSM providers know that the more intelligent users - the ones who actually want these features - will be able to get the phone unlocked and move it to another GSM provider, or flash the firmware/modify the FLEX to enable the feature anyway. GSM providers couldn't care less what phone you use as it's all in the SIM card. CDMA providers, however, have a notoriously bad habit of not activating any phones that aren't in their database of 'valid' ESNs.
