The first Windows Mobile5.0 PPC phone with integrated GPS didn't come out until mid 2006, which actually had a SiRF Star III chipset.
The 6700 was released around mid 2005.
It sold effectively as it was. Purchased mine 2 years ago at $450, and recently seen it sold at local stores for $400 - and discontinued last month.
Current competition will force their hand to integrate a fully functioning GPS in future releases.
If they enabled the subpar navigation from the beginning it would've been just asking for trouble in more ways than one.
