I'm looking for a new phone and this looks like it but I want full GPS with maps.

Can anyone explain what the GPS specs actually are on this beauty..
It has full GPS capabilities (provided as part of theQualcomm chipset) and should run any WM 6.1 compatible GPS software. The 'a' in aGPS stands for 'assisted' and simply means that it can, potentially, download extra information from your mobile network to make for a faster and more accurate GPS connection.

The Touch Pro won't come with full GPS software. In some markets it may come with a taster of TomTom 7, and some mobile networks may bundle GPS software. The Touch Pro will come with Google Maps though.

PS This must be why the Diamond doesn't have expansions card support.
It's more that internal storage and no SD slot enabled the consumer aimed Diamond to be as thin and light as possible. The Touch Pro can have a MicroSD slot because it has to be bigger, and so has the space for a slot.
