Sucks to the people that bought the original P1i lmao, unless they're just announcing something that the phone already has to the public? |

Hi all
I don't think it is built in but like those in some Scandinavian countries where in the box they got a GPS unit and the Map's application included in the price i think it was Way Finder but check the P1 early threads for details of what was included with the P1.

i really dont think it is built in coz the price difference between a gps enabled p1 and a non gps p1 is just Rs. 2,000 which is approx 50 USD or 25 GBP, i might be wrong but thtas wat i think... its too less a difference if it were a hardware difference

The fine print on the right side in the ad probably explains that this is a package offer with phone, Bluetooth GPS and software.
Edit: Yes, indeed. It says "Bluetooth GPS receiver and GPS application with .. months validity"! I can't read the numbers but it is probably "12".

This ad got my attention too...if theres some hardware change,then the price wont have been just a marginal hike and it would have been launched worldwide.I feel its either a software or the GPS headphones included in the box.
But here in India,whats the point of having a GPS when u can ask the local dude "Mein kahan hoon??"

I called up SE India..they told me its a wayfinder gps device bundled with the P1..not in-built. P1 will connect to the device via bluetooth and then some software will show you the maps on the P1. Still i'm a bit confused how all this will work..
here, have a puff  |

Hey that's great. That means now you don't have to buy GPS Receiver separately. Everything will come under one pack. Google My Location feature will perfectly with it.

That's correct.
The P1i package in some Scandinavian, European and other countries (incl. Turkey) includes the external bluetooth GPS + activation key for Wayfinder map services since day 1.
They may have now added it in the sales package for India in order to increase the sales there...
