^^^ by no means am I a techy but thought all new phones have GPS. Also, you should be able to turn the radio / phone functions off and just use the GPS app.

(Going back some years, I recall when it became available on my early Nokia - Blackberry with the Sprint / Nextel -walkie talkie-. The data plan cost was nutz especially if outside the US. LOL Never again will be with Sprint.... good riddance!)


The Samsung Galaxy player using an Android 2.3?? OS I was referring to above is just like a phone but doesn't use a cell service. For phone it needs a wifi connection. Good extra and free rates for calls in the US but only within a wifi range. The GPS of course works most anywhere. Great for a few freebie GPS bike tracking apps, etc. has 8 gb plus extra 32 gig of music with Bluetooth for the car, etc. Cheap thing now sell for under $100, no cost to use and has been reliable.

What I want is a similar set-up like this with only pre-pay for talk but no data plan (outside of the office / home Wi-Fi). When in Wi-Fi range (office / home) only then would use it for data and the google voice for free calls. I'll look for a T-Mobile seller and see if a Ppd phone like this is available.

Should be able to keep phone cost next to nothing or am I oversimplifying my thought not giving any more to the phone providers?
