Ron: I was just going from the MSM6300 feature description and no the detailed spec sheet. You're right, the detailed specs say nothing about GPS One support for the GSM/GPRS mode. From some of the discussion here, it would appear unlikely, but we're getting beyond my understanding here. So QCOM's upcoming multi-mode MSM6xxx chipsets don't promise any salvation for AWE, Cingular and Voicestream from their E-911 woes? David T.

Ron: Looks like maybe we were both a bit premature in writing off the Snaptrack/GPS applicability to the GSM/GPRS modes in the MSM6200/6300. From the Qualcomm PR yesterday (posted by Ben): Message 17568853 ...The MSM6200 solution is also compatible with QUALCOMM's MGP6200(TM) Multimode Global Positioning System (GPS) Processor and system software, providing industry-leading Wireless Assisted GPS(TM) capabilities. The MGP6200 solution supports WCDMA as well as GSM and GPRS systems. The MGP6200 chip uses the proven Assisted GPS fast-convolution hardware core and software algorithms from SnapTrack(TM), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM, to provide significantly enhanced GPS signal sensitivity, fast start times, multipath mitigation, and power optimization, while minimizing positioning data traffic on wireless networks.... MGP6200 info here: cdmatech.com I would expect there to be a companion MGP 6300 for the MSM6300 also, since they both support GSM/GPRS, with the only difference between the two being that the 6300 supports CDMA 2000 1x, whereas the 6200 supports WCDMA.
