    Does the P Series VGN-P530H have GPS or not?

    I'm looking to buy a used one on ebay - some sellers think the P530H has GPS, some don't. The Sony 'Features' page for this model lists GPS, the 'Specifications' page doesn't. The remarkably unhelpful Sony rep I spoke to on the phone wouldn't look into the matter, but said that I should believe the 'Features' page and not worry that GPS isn't on the specs page. Can anybody here please shed some light?

    If I'm not mistaken, the GPS on the Vaio P is a part of the GOBI 3G wireless card, in which all models have.
