Here's some great news for HTC P3600 owners: with a recently posted update, they can activate their PDA phone's built-in GPS receiver. With the help of two dozen satellites orbiting the earth, and with the proper software, users will be able to know where they are within 50 feet.

Without wondering why HTC would release a gadget without enabling all (or at least the most useful) features, a demo version of TomTom's NAVIGATOR 6 is also available to test the newly-enabled feature. The GPS navigator application comes with one free map, so users who take advantage of this freebie will be able to find their way around their home city.

The update also features other improvements, such as enhancements to Bluetooth and the web browser, and "new data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections."

Thanks to CoolSmartPhone for the heads-up.
