It is real GPS. How do I know? Well number one it tracked my every move on my way home, and also Google maps tells you how many satelittes that its communicating with. Second, it think it may be operating in aGPS mode. I made sure my data connection was open when using this so I could see how often it pinged the connection. Most of the time the arrows were greyed out and maybe every 1 minute lit up to use connection, and aGPS is great if not better because it is using actual satelitte data and also tower data to give u an accurate reading where u are second to second. I also noticed that when GPS is being used, that the phone gets very warm, this could also be attributed to it using GPS, tower data, and also constantly refreshing the screen, thus drawing more power. SO yes guys, we do have GPS in our moguls! Works fine with G-maps, live search, and the included telenav trial.
Evdo Rev.A is definately active in my area, my d/l speeds have been about 200k higher, and my upload speeds have jumped from around 100k on average to about 400k.
I have noticed that my signal quality is the lower in some areas. For instannce, at home I usually get 4-5 bars of signal. My signal meter has been jumping all around.
Overall, I can say im pleased with what this unofficial update brought. We now have working GPS and *somewhat* flaky Rev.A. I wasnt expecting WM6.1. That would have been too much like right..lol.
