Verizon Wireless is one of the two largest (or _the_ largest, 
depending on your criteria) wireless providers in the U.S. They have 
not allowed customers to activate any non-GPS phone in about three 
years. They claim that 95% of their customers have a GPS-enabled 
phone. Sprint, (Nextel,) and Alltel also put GPS chips in their 
phones. Given the lifespan of most cellular/mobile phones and the 
propensity of customers to trade "up" over the last five years that 
GPS has been available on phones for U.S. systems, I'd say there's a 
fair number of phones out there with that capability.
