Re: My non gps phone

A phone will only use what the carrier supports. If AT&T hasn't implemented an A-GPS server to connect to E911 it's not going to utilize the GPS chip in the phone. AFAIK AT&T and T-Mobile have only deployed TDOA based E911 technologies right now. Sprint/Nextel, Verizon and the rest of the CDMA carriers use Qualcom based A-GPS/AOA for E911.
Again, I need to disagree. The iphone has A-GPS, as do a few other ATT phones. In fact, ATT just had a press release that they use A-GPS in their phones the other day. It looks like they officially started offering it last month, but now most of their phones will likely have it.
