Being a mobile junkie here's my input.
1) I've read countless articles on device specifications that
resemble the "not a real GPS receiver" statement.
2) The HTC Touch for example was quoted as not having a "real GPS
receiver." So inevitably it meant you had to purchase a Bluetooth-
capable GPS receiver. Lo and behold, we find out that HTC did in
fact include a GPS receiver (GPRS/EVDO-based (tower-dependent))
which was merely not enabled by Sprint (in this example).
