The main reason for having GPS in these devices isn't to support a phased rollout in US markets. The main reason is so that I can't install one of these outside the country, and still dial/pay like I'm still in the US.

T-mobile offers a number of phones with WiFi that, similarly, connect to the T-mobile network via the internet. I hear they are a great way to get around overseas roaming charges.
