Smartphones have become all important for the workaholics. From being a fully functional no frills business phone with PDA, QWERTY keyboard et al, the smartphones have extended to include a few multimedia functions like camera, MP3, etc. This is for those who might fancy a small break between work. And now smartphones are clamouring to include the latest rage – GPS. The idea of Google Earth and Wikimapia replication on mobile phones is something that will appeal to the mass at large. Besides, GPS is a really useful tracking tool, which makes this feature an even more attractive proposition to be considered when buying a phone, Smartphone in particular.

For all the hoopla it's created, a GPS smartphone is still not commonplace in the market. Here are the precious few phones in the Indian market with the coveted feature.

Nokia N95
We couldn't exactly call it a smartphone. What we mean is, this one's more than a smartphone, it's a business and multimedia phone rolled into one. This quad band phone incudes features like, 160 MB inbuilt memory, microSD card slot, FM radio, GPS, PictBridge, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared, USB connector, music player, 5 MP camera, video recording and a secondary VGA camera. But the selling point of the much hyped Nokia phone is its GPS receiver. On this phone, you can simply type out an address and get directions on how to get there, but the maps have to be downloaded. Price: Rs 36,859

Nokia E90

This communicator apart from providing the best for business is also equipped with multimedia features such as MP3 player, 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus, video calling, M radio as well as a Real player. It has 3G capabilities too. But what sets this apart from the other communicators is the GPS functionality of this one. Definitely a pricey phone, but then again, some things are totally worth the buy! Here too, the GPS will help you with basic directions but the maps need to be downloaded. Price: Rs 40,000
