I have a Google G1 and that does the GPS thing but if you want the
phone to last the day you have to turn it off and only turn it on when
you need to use the GPS. When you start the browser every time it will
get the GPS location.

My old Sony Erricson would use Google maps and even though it didn't
have GPS it would just point to the nearest phone mast.

The likes of iPhone only leads the way by shouting about it loudest,
so don't let it get to you because remember no one ever had a MP3
player until the iPod came out. ;-)

The data must be stored in a list of ip addresses associated with a
mast, that mast having a GPS location. Bit like geoip but on a bigger
scale.
