No, they're NOT.
AGPS is the TECHNOLOGY used to MEET E-911 requirements... Wether it be by triangulation, GPS, AGPS, etc. Those are only the technologies used, NOT a definition of the E-911 system.
Devices such as the HP HW6515 DID have AGPS that COULD run in standalone mode, but because of the smaller antenna, required longer to acquire signals, and it's accuracy was reduced, while in standalone mode. The HW6515 software downloaded a small bit of data every few days, which ASSISTED the GPS in getting an accurate fix, it was NOT required for operation, however...
Maybe you should try and get the prog from that phone, it was WM5, and the device worked on all GSM carriers, it was an actual file that was downloaded from a server, NOT network initiated/controlled.
I know Mogul and 6700 have Agps, I do NOT believe they have the proper antenna, even IF it was unfrozen in soft/firmware.
