Mine has it. It's pretty much a joke. The GPS antenna is on the back of the phone. The phone has to be set face down, the back pointed at the clear sky, for approximately four minutes before it gets a signal lock. And it has to be out of the case. And for all that you get a latitude-longitude pair and nothing else. If they're trying to track me with that phone, it's not working too well. Might just be there for the 911 requirement, but it doesn't hardly work. > BTW, does anyone have a newer cell phone that will display the GPS > info?
