So I do agree that the GPS or lack thereof isn't that important.
However Bluetooth to me is important. And given that you can purchase a USB Bluetooth device for $1.01 with free shipping out of China the lack of this feature, which likely costs $.25 or less in bulk quantities is utterly surprising to me. |
Google doesn't need gps, it finds you everytime you connect with wifi unless you have location turned off. GPS can be turned off also. In this day and age your comings and goings are already known, mobile phone use,bank machine use,bank/credit/store card use,CCTV, Google is the least of your worries. The big mistake for me was not enabling OTG which would have allowed for Bluetooth dongles ,pen drives, keyboards etc.
