This may be a late response, but YES, the phone comes with GPS. Pre-Ordering IS available to existing customers ONLY. The anticipated ship date if you pre-order is October 22nd, but of course, that could vary.

For Non-T-Mobile customers, you will not be able to pre-order at this time, but you can enter your information on www.t-mobile.com to be informed of when the phone will be on sale to the general public.

Hey guys, I was watching the live feed and the live blog at the same time, I believe you guys might have mis-heard. The date is Oct 22nd (not the 27th). Just an FYI.

Pre-order is online only, I just talked to T-Mobile.
