Sony Ericsson P1i GPS query+price?

[gizmoholic]

Hey ppl,
I was wondering whether the P1i had GPS support in it (out of the box) and whether i will have to pay any annual subscription charges to keep it activated?(I have no idea how the system works).
What are your opinions about the phone?
Also what is its current market price/grey price in Mumbai?

U can get gps support by getting a bluetooth gps device and hooking it up thru tomtom gps software!

^ What about the cost?

Edit:- I phoned Alpha. The bugger is not stating the price. Says idhar aake dekh lo. He anyway asked me whether you want the GPS version or the non-GPS one. Now are there 2 versions? :S

I paid 17.4k for the GPS version around 6 months ago. Its an external bluetooth device. The GPS software downloads stuff on the fly using cellphone network. Not sure about the GPS software validity. Doesn't say anything on the box.
