HTC S730 Reviewed, GPS not confirmed October 31, 2007 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Still a bit unsure on the whole GPS business. It looks like it may have it, but there's nothing in the specifications... We've got one of the first S730 phones here in the UK and it's running a test build of the software. There's been a lot of rumours about the GPS and it's a hotly debated topic. I tested it and got a couple of fixes on the test tools, so something inside does appear to be responding on COM4 at 57600 bps, but I couldn't get a fix with any software. Whether this is due to the GPS configuration or lack of GPS antenna I'm not sure, but Google Maps and several other navigation programs fail to get a fix. The best I could get was three satellites, so it may be lacking an antenna. The official specs for this phone have no mention of GPS so it may perhaps be something that could be included later, I'm really not sure at this stage. ... so in other words: it looks like this phone doesn't have built-in GPS after all - although some people claim that S730 has built-in GPS.
