It isn't exclusive to GPS-equipped devices and will work with Wi-Fi and other methods that can generate...

Some of Twitter’s most popular applications officially support the feature, including Birdfeed, Seesmic Web, Foursquare, Gowalla, Twidroid and Twittelator Pro. The feature is only available via the API and therefore you won’t be able to detect location of tweets via Twitter.com According to twitter “The added...
Back in August, Twitter announced that it was getting ready to roll out an ambitious new project: Geolocation. The idea was to be able to attach a location to every tweet. Today, the API is officially turned on, but it's not on the main site — yet.

I still don't know why the Omnia II 's 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen is resistive, but the WinMo 6.5 phone will go head-to-head with Verizon's own Moto Droid.
