If you’re looking for a GPS-enabled mobile phone in the next few years, your best bet may be a Nokia. The company plans to add GPS to half of the phones it sells within the next few years in order to bump up revenue as cell phone prices drop. Nokia’s official goal, actually made public a year ago, is to have 50% of its manufactured cell phones to carry a GPS chip by 2010 to 2012. From here on in, Nokia says few of its “E” and “N” series phones will be GPS free and feels well on their way to meeting their goal with 35 million GPS phones expected to ship this year, and many more will ship that use cell phone towers to map the user’s location.
