This is incorrect, AFAIK. For instance, the Benco V80s does not have GPS capability. Maybe you’re limiting your comments to phones made by American companies, but phones made outside the US are not subject to US laws.

As far as I know, phones without gps are not allowed to operate on U.S. networks.

I will check out the Benco V80. It would be great if you are correct.
