I hope the winner of the Android challenge has ensured that he is in good terms with the patent holder for location-based switching of device settings of the profile. If the location-switching is based on the network infrastructure such as A-GPS then Ericsson holds the patent. If the switching is done based local radios such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or other near-field radio solutions, then Nokia holds the patent.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
