There might be a conflict of interest as GPS is concerned. Sony also produces stand alone GPS navigators. Maybe the people at SE don't want to cannibalize their own (Sony)market.
Don't forget Sony also produce
's and Cybershot camera's yet this doesn't stop
and in my opinion
phones are more popular and probably outsell standalone
devices, so i couldn't see that stopping them putting GPS into a phone and besides if they don't that would be suicide as other maufacturers continue to produce phones with built in GPS!

I connect mine to my PC and use it with MS Autoroute 2006 as a moving map

I think SE missed a huge chance to be very clever, they could have produced a GPS module that directly replaced the flip keypad, same size & shape or maybe smaller to give full screen viewing even when closed, this could have been offered as an extra with a firmware upgrade, i'm sure it could b done & it wouldnt have caused a physical design change to the phones casing...... just a thought.
