the having to "buy a usb adapter to unlock the internal gps" is a new one.. we wont be paying anything to have our gps unlocked thank you...
unless of course sprint only unlocks the agps portion of the chipset in which case ill get a 50$ bt receiver... sprints not getting anything additional out of me.. it would be nice if they just enabled it to offer us at least some of the capabilities that other service providers give their customers that choose to weild said providers best phone... it IS capable of 4 modes, one of which is standalone, this has been confirmed due to the chipset the mogul uses.. not sure why there are still debates over it...

I appreciate all of the comments and responces. i didn't want to go out and buy a receiver if my phone already has the cabability. Sprint needs to hurry up and release the full power of this phone.

I've not yet seen a post that says the total Titan HW solution is capable of standalone GPS. The chipset - yes, but the antenna - no, what I've seen says it either doesn't exist, isn't connected, or is shared with the radio and therefore would work only for a-gps.
Can anyone provide a link to a post that says otherwise? I really hope it can do standalone. Now, whether Sprint enables it is an entirely different question...

For what it's worth, I contacted HTC a few months ago with the following question:
"There is lots of debate on discussion boards as to whether the Mogul has standalone GPS capability or assisted GPS only. Could you confirm this?" HTC's answer: "The Mogul supports AGPS only, which requires a connected call to get data location. Whether or not the GPS chip is enabled on your device is strictly the decision of your carrier. I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions." Btw, I contacted HTC on several occasions and they promptly replied to all my inquiries.

A single antenna can be built to support a fairly wide variety of frequency ranges beyond 1900MHz. The Mogul's antenna interfaces with the MSM7500. Beyond that, it's all firmware.
Perhaps we'll not find out the real answer - perhaps we will. Read up on the specifications of the MSM7500 chipset within the phone... http://www.cdmatech.com/products/msm...t_solution.jsp Specs: 133MHz ARM9 companion processor, ARM TrustZone technology, Embedded QDSP4000 or QDSP5000 DSP (CDMA2000 1X Rel. 0 / Rev. A, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0 / Rev. A, GSM, GPRS Class 10 baseband), Embedded gpsOne GPS module, Qcamera, Qtv, Qcamcorder, Qvideophone Then, read up on gpsOne: http://www.cdmatech.com/products/gpsone.jsp Key specification: Supports Standalone-GPS, which expands the availability of positioning capabilities to areas where cellular networks are not accessible Anything's possible, for what it's worth. I have faith that the guys down the road will release something ONLY if it's possible, in due time.
