Yep, and 99% of the mapping programs for PPC are worthless without cell reception too because they rely on a data connection to show you the map. So, for most of us it works well. Also with regular GPS you need a satellite view which is impossible indoors and very hard in a car if you aren't holding your phone up to the windshield.

There are pluses and minuses to both approaches but if Sprint enables A-GPS I will be more than happy.

Here's a question...

Can you get aGPS while roaming?

If you are data roaming.

Viper, is this the update that will be released at the end of November, of the one that will be released next year?

The one that will come out in November just has the BT and memory fixes. The Rev. A and GPS won't come out until next year.
