The radio/transmitter picks up the GPS location as well as any other blackberry.

Do you need to have be in a area with service for the GPS to find you? Or are there apps where you could use a GPS service without having mobile reception?

No, the GPS will find you regardless of service, however, if you want to use that GPS with a maps application, they use data to get the maps. So you need data service coverage to get that.

In general you picked a great phone which is about to drop in price with the release of the 9800 if you're with AT&T.
