A review of the A-GPS equipped LG VX8300 from Verizon Wireless has been posted over at Top Tech News.
Features of the handset include:
More AGPS handsets are on the way…
Designated the HP iPaq hw6500 series, the GSM/GPRS/EDGE devices are aimed at exploiting opportunity represented by the remaining sentiment towards pocket PC/exchange devices as well as the desire amongst corporate and SME users to have instant, always-on email in the same fashion as the popular BlackBerry from Research in Motion.
…
It is understood that the new hw6500 series will come in two versions — with or without a 1.3 megapixel digital camera. The device will also make use of a new global positioning position (GPS) technology called AGPS that works twice as fast as existing GPS systems.

Sprint has announced the availability of the Sprint PCS Phone SCP-200 by Sanyo. It’ll sell for USD$169.99, or USD$19.99 after rebate. See the link for more details.
This looks like a pretty good, cheap, A-GPS handset for Sprint customers.

The Treo 650 looks like a great phone/PDA combo. Various reviewers seem quite impressed with the bundled software and its ease of use. Nice to see another A-GPS enabled phone on the market, too:
The GSM Treo has a quad band wireless radio that uses the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. The CDMA model uses a digital dual-band CDMA/1xRTT radio operating on the 800/1900 MHz bands. The GSM model also support high speed EDGE networks with data speeds averaging up to 135 kilobits per second (kbps). It also features E911 compliance with a built in GPS chip that is solely used for the enhanced E911 emergency location service.
One issue seems to be the availability of WiFi drivers, which is a disappointment. According to the article, prices start at USD$449, and range up to USD$699 for the unlocked GSM model.
