Rumours

[edit]

Integrated GPS system

[edit]

The device is said to contain a GPS chip but lacks the software to use it; also, the integrated GPS chip has no antenna and therefore it can only connect to 1-2 satellites (usually at COM4 at 4800 or 9600 baud). HTC has not officially stated that the device would contain any GPS functionality, however GPS functions have been demonstrated by HTC on preview versions of the device.
