The iPhone is NOT a smart phone.

I actually have a moto q for work. I like it.

I hate the idiots who can't get over my desire to own and make use of my iPhone. Just as much as i hate the morons who FREAK cause i'm not completely enamored with its current featureset.

All the way back down to version 1.3.0 but it works and still has traffic.

Live Maps > Options > Location Finder > Locate Me

I haven't tried it, but I assume it works. So this doesn't seem new to me.]]>Nov 29th 2007 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/so maybe it isn't new to you, but you're not Google Maps.]]>Nov 29th 2007 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/
Ok, like I said, I was just pointing out that this wasn't something brand new.

I bet there's also many 3rd party apps. to put a GPS function on your phone.

So Live Maps won't work on the iPhone? Is that what you're saying?

That's kind of sad. I thought iPhone's internet browser could pick up websites, even sites like Live Maps. So the iPhone can't pick up that? Does anything show up when you connect? I'm just wondering.]]>Nov 29th 2007 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/Nov 29th 2007 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/
And while I'm at it, Google Earth is AMAZING software. For you astronomers out there, try it out!!! It's an interactive map of the skies with absolutely incredible clarity.]]>Nov 29th 2007 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/
I wonder if this is a GSM thing - anyone had any luck at all with this new feature on a CDMA network?

It's pretty accurate, the only problem is if you live in an urban environment (like me) you would want more precise location to make it useful for location directions. Or else you will have to look for an address or cross street to manually enter in the directions feature when looking for driving directions.]]>Nov 29th 2007 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/google-unveils-gps-less-handset-locator-technology/
