Well, that cell info on nokia and motorola phone is the data from a cell
broadcast service channel providing location data. It works here when I
register for all channels (since I dont know which chaneel the data is sent
on). The very same location info is now shown on the launcher home page.
Set a listener for "org.freesmartphone.ogsmd",
"/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device", "org.freesmartphone.GSM.CB",
"SetCellBroadcastSubscriptions" and pass the value "all".
You'll get a string with the location.
