If you're really considering an instinct than you aren't a real ppc user It has no apps available besides maybe that BREW bs (mostly games) and java (opera mini).
A-GPS is better than OLDER GPS models. The receiver sensitivity of some of the newer GPS models are better than than cells using "A-GPS". The benefit of GPS is never needing assistance from "cell towers". To keep cell phones cheap, designers use the cheaper GPS chipsets available. Cheaper mean receiver sensitivity sucks. To boost aquisition of position they use "assistance" from cell towers as a crutch. Without cell towers, A-GPS is worse or no better than older GPS units
