Can someone please tell me dose the Sprint Curve 8330 have stand alone GPS or is it only assisted GPS. Please provide a link so I can check it out I want to know and show someone else so I need proof.
One of the reasons that I asked this question is because the Sprint website didn't have the 8330 listed for the last few days but I just checked and it is back.
SO sprints version is assisted capable I was wondering because when I am in my office at work I get the blue ring around the locator in google maps this usually means tower assisted location and is not as accurate. In my office I have no satellite coverage and the location shows to be off I told my co worker that this is because it is running in assisted mode because we are inside of the building.
Google Maps will almost always show your location based upon tower triangulation because it has a hard time keeping a satellite lock. But I would not call this assisted-GPS. It's tower triangulation.
But BB Maps (and Google Maps when it can get a lock) will use the GPS which is typically spot on accurate.
The only BlackBerry devices listed as having A-GPS are the Bold and the Storm.
