Phone users can select between “allow” and “cancel” options.

If Windows phone users opt for “cancel,” the camera software continues to record latitude and longitude coordinates of handsets along with locations of nearby mobile service towers and Wi-Fi networks, the lawsuit charged.

Wow... so not only are they stuck with some of the crappiest OS software in history, bugs, and what not, they are being tracked 24/7 as well! Raw deal any way you slice it. Suckers.

All the smartphones track where you are: Apple, Google (Android), etc. They say they now delete that data after a week or so............ but do you trust them?
