Is that what makes it a smartphone? GPS function? Couldn't they make a smartphone without GPS?

Well then google maps would have a fit (it does even if you turn off your location), no wayz or any other navigation programs, many aps work off navigation for recommendations, and then the rest would not want to participate because they could not give you location adds like the nearest KFC or car insurance. You need location function to log into music aps at bars, etc.

Also...I am not a phone expert but I think you need a location function on a phone to talk to cell towers.

Even without GPS a phone's signal can be easily triangulated (sp?)
