If you are on a GSM network CellID may still works for WM, perhaps a Fuze user can clarify. The API for us CDMA devices doesn't allow WM/GMM to access the CDMA CellID equivalent on our phones.

//I found the link where I got this information from

Specifically this quote
"Some devices, particularly Windows Mobile devices, do not have the the proper API enabled to allow for cell ID location detection. "

Also the G1 is an Android phone and not actually Windows Mobile. Android was likely built with the API to support CellID and its sister technologies.

well then that makes sense...and as far as the g1 goes...its a gsm phone on top of that
