AT&T has aGPS carrier enabled, Sprint does not. We should sit tight for the Sprint ROM update and see what comes of it. The 6800s aGPS capabilities are carrier disabled although the handset is capable of aGPS, which uses cell tower triangulation, not GPS satellite locating. The 6700/6800 GPS locating will work only with a bluetooth external GPS receiver. So, in other words, the myLocation feature on Google Maps will not work if you don't have some type of GPS capability.
