I'd heard they federal law <?> allowed a certain small percentage of phones on a provider's network to not be GPS capable. Maybe Verizon's trying to shrink that percentage.

GPS capable? Uh? I don't know of any phones that have a built in GPS feature that is just used for that. With digital (and I'm sure analog) you can actually triangulate the rough position of the phone within the cell based on which antenna of the cell has the strongest signal and the readings from other nearby cells.
