It wasn't a GPS. It did location based on triangulation from the various cell towers nearby from what I gather. It was only on the original K1 anyway.

There isn't anything stopping somebody from making a cell triangulation system for the K3. There are cell tower databases online now which you can access for free. It just needs somebody to have the KDK and for Amazon to allow access to the GSM modem information which I'm not sure they allow.

Everything since the K2i uses GSM as Amazon can sell it it internationally unlike CDMA which is mainly restricted to the US.
