openstreetmap, my phone is accurate to about 10-20 meters which is

I have an application called Google Maps in my mobile ( Samsung Star ). I doub't if there is a GPS in my mobile. The application opens up with my current location as the default map. It has a tiny spot which indicates my location. I believe it uses some triangulation from the cell phone towers. I re-checked my location and it is off-set by about 60 to 70 meters.
buy a decent phone and use openstreetmap
