Hello, Don Ferguson.

>with it.
GSM can apparently triangulate a phone's location a lot better than
CDMA phones. So per FCC regs, I think it is, CDMA phones have an eGPS
assisted locator. When you dial 911 from those phones, it goes into an
"Emergency Mode". There is an icon on the phone status line to tell
you if this eGPS assist is in "emergency only" mode, "always on" mode,
and maybe whether or not it's being accessed.
Before I got my Cingular Treo 650 (GSM), I had a Verizon Kyocera 7135
(CDMA) with this.
