So there is a HUGE amount of confusion here.
Personally, All phones with A-GPS have a GPS chipset to assist in satellites lookup for their position. The only difference is 1) A-GPS/aGPS = allows for maps to be downloaded over the data network, while 2) GPS - allows for maps to be referenced off the memory card and position of your location is STILL using satellites.
Wait a minute... first the function of AGPS（Assisted Global Positioning System)
is not just allowing for maps to be downloaded over the data network, it's mainly to assit satellites lookup for your position. But different phones have different functions on AGPS. For example, NOKIA 6110 Navigator AGPS is mainly speed up the look up process by connecting to Nokia AGPS Server; while TOSHIBA 813T (Japanese model) / 908A (Taiwan model) AGPS connects network providers' AGPS server and can independently look up for your position, even when there is no signal for GPS(of course, it is less accurate compare to GPS), so you can get the position information even when you are in the building, just to make sure you can receive network signal.
And back to the topic:
Z780 has AGPS
Z770i just have Google Maps
But for Z750i, we can see it has GPS function and it's really need time to connect satellites. So Z780 is similiar Z750i?

Test Report (in Chinese):

But from the report Z780
DOES NOT have a GPS chipset...
http://mobile.pconline.com.cn/review/0807/1345336_2.html
it needs to pug in HGE-100, like K530 and G502...
that means in GPS function it's even worse than Z750 (but better than Z770)?
