Default Pocket PC Phone GPS capability

Hi. I just upgraded from the Samsung i700 to the i730. Both say they have GPS capability. Does anyone know how to take advantage of a Pocket PC Phone's GPS cababilities?

a basic search suggested that this is a land based cell tower GPS setup. This is also know as e-911 and location based services. Basically NOT true GPS using satellites but using cell towers. This will only be useable by you if your carrier provides you with access to it most likely with a fee attached.
satellite GPS is free.
