It might be nice to just send out the old module, even if it
theoretically isn't useful, because somebody might be willing to hack it
to make it work. Right now we have nothing.
I wouldn't have imagined I'd see a less productive contribution than the
_rest_ of this discussion, but I guess it goes to show how mistaken one can
be.
I won't be hurt if you don't use GPS.

But you don't have source, so this minor project becomes impossible.
The only way that is going to happen is if/when Apple integrates such

My idea was an application to : when you lost your Neo, send a special SMS

You should not have to switch firmware for the different bands.
That would be insanity. A quad band module should be able to
