In an absence of GPS chip your device may not be able to pin point your location effectively and precisely as in an AGPS enabled device. However, it still is pretty good.
Iphones use google maps technology and tries to get info from satellites through cellular network for triangulation also simultaneously getting feedbacks through data networks (internet). WiFi ccess points may be used to get the maps for your location if available. It's a coherent work.
If your's is a jailbroken phone you may get xgps from cydia. However for true gps simply add a GPS receiver to your iphone. Many such car kits are available in market.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
I bloody hell care about my 2G... Cuz I'm dumping it and going for a 3G...
What I'm really asking is whether you need to have a GPS provider.. or if I have the following I'll have perfect GPS ?
iPhone 3G
xGPS (using this already)
WiFi all the time .. most of the time...
Airtel in Hyderabad...
So now will I be able to locate myself on google maps? like a real time GPS or something?

All the best

Happy to come back to this thread,
Purchased 32GB white iphone 3GS from Singapore,software unlocked,afraid of upgrading to 3.1,satisfied wih 3.0.1.
3GS is just a 'Masterpiece',unbeatable at present!
Really faster than 3G,

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
I so wanna upgrade my 3g .... wish it comes here faster
btw just a quick query guys - My understanding about locking of iphone 3g in India was that Airtel will unlock iphone after 1 year. At least thats what I was told by their rep.
However at *support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 this link now no longer has tick against airtel for officially selling unlocked iphones in India. Also, today I tried my roommate's sim from a soft unlocked iphone (bought in US) and it worked on my supposedly locked iphone (from Airtel). Does this mean mine was unlocked all way long? Or am I grasping things wrong?
I actually want to get mine unlocked (preferably officially) so I can switch to BSNL 3G. I really wanna experience that.

Hi,
Quick reveiw of my 3GS!
*Apparently no difference with iphone 3G,
*i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/DSC01555r.jpg *i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/DSC01546r.jpg
*As a phone I had some problem with my iPhone 3G like a small delay in hearing voices while attending calls.This is not there in my 3GS!-Excellent voice clarity! (similar to
blackberries & high-end Nokia phones),
*Camera is exceptionally good,video quality is acceptable,
*There is no major difference in applications,mails,browsing and chat with 3GS & 3G!except that it looks marginally quicker,
*Keyboard in both portrait and landscape modes; very helpful!
*Newer Apps like Compass-not much use to me,may be I can add "Metal Detector" application,
*Voice Over is really good,Zooming is another welcome application,wow!it zooms any application,(Accessibility settings is a new addition)
*i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/hero-accessibility-20090909.jpg *i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/accessibility-zoom-20090608.jpg
*Games: Something 3GS really makes its difference with 3G - NFS looks gr8,Dark Raider,Blue Skies coming 3GS specific and works amazingly well.I've not tried all games,but I have
a good list: Flight Control,Modern Combat,Galactic gunner,Doom Surrection,Pocket Universe,Sims3,Rolando2,Adrenaline Golf and some more...
So,all game lovers will enjoy without any doubt!
*Maps & GPS - Looks good,I've not tried much,
*Skype and Yahoo Messenger:Good! Installed QuickOffice & PDF viewer,
*Music & Videos: Unmatching performance,similar to 3G,Headset has additional Volume controls'+' & '-'(newer 3GS),But I still use 'Sennheiser MM50" for better clarity,
*WiFi,Bluetooth are great as usual-A2DP works great with my Sony HBH DS970 and Motorola HS 20,
*Battery-Most important point in 3GS looks far far better than 3G,ofcourse with 3G disabled (sometimes with wifi on or 3G on phone becomes 'HOT' made me panicky but after
disabling 3G it is not there),Overall battery performance is better,comes for 1.5days to 2days with nominal usage (full -> drain),
*Looking seriously,I personally feel ugrading from 3G to 3GS is NOT required as such unless you feel gaming,camera,bit faster UI & battery matters you more!
*Unfortuantely no sign of release in India,I got it from Singapore (white iPhone 3GS,32GB) for 49K (which is very costly,but what to do?)(@the.kaushik,sorry bit late)
*Sucessfully configured Airtel Mobile Office! Happy with MobileMe sync(Thanks to Yash & Aryaush) and Accuweather app.
*Share ur views!

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
Nice quick review.
If i ever change to 3Gs it will be only for gaming and compass
Try using some push enabled IM like fring and see how the battery backup turns up.. With push enabled 3G almost dies in 3hrs

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
Yeah!! I have to do it every-time a new s/w update comes up for my flatmate
btw Kaushik dude it seems you have jailbroken yourself to 3.1. I updated to 3.1 but haven't jailbroken mine yet. Reason: No window pawnage tool application by dev team. Now it sucks not to have macbook for another reason. I just don't wanna use any custom firmware rather a trusted one. Could you upload your's or point me to some which actually works? I understand posting such links won't be allowed on forum. Maybe an email or pvt msg?
