ok, here's the lowdown everybody, and I hope this sort of provides closure on the matter. Everytime I see an update in this thread I pretty much end up getting excited over nothing.
From the qualcomm chipset specifications I saw that gpsOne can be used in "standalone mode" and so initially thought that the 6700 has a standalone GPS chip. That is actually incorrect. From my later understanding, the GPSone is just the mechanism to process the data received from the satellites, it is not actually capable of receiving any data from the satellites. Our 6700's lack the GPS component to recieve raw GPS data. There is basically no GPS antenna. What everyone's been getting worked all up about is what is called Assisted-GPS. It has been established that unless Sprint makes changes on their side of the table, A-GPS is something we will never see on our 6700's, because it is essentially a service. The 911 capabilities of A-GPS, are just that...911. There is nothing we can change in our phone's softare, nothing that can be hacked per se to generalize that use with other apps.
