GPS on Smartphones
My question concerns the GPS capabilities of the UTStarcom 6700 phone. Specifically, the Verizon XV-6700 incarnation. PhoneScoop says that it does have a GPS receiver.
Is this a full-fledged receiver or does it require assistance from the cell-towers to find itself? If I bought a third-party program like Tom-Tom, would I still need to match it with a separate receiver?
My father wants a cellphone with GPS capabilities, and he was originally looking at the VZ Navigator. I've suggested either the Moto Q, XV-6700 or the Palm 700w. The Moto Q appears only to come with A-GPS (again, from PhoneScoop).
My apologies if this has been hashed out before, but I didn't see anything. I've read a couple of posts concerning the ipaq 6900 series which has an installed receiver. HP seems to tote this feature, which leads me to believe that it is a more complete solution than is provided on the cell phones.
Thanks all
