I’m interested in getting a GPS-enabled phone but I don’t want a 3G phone. Does that combination exist? If they do, would they need a specific type of cellphone network that might not exist in my country? If so, where can I find information on country-by-country availability for the type of cellphone networks that would be needed to support them?
I could be wrong, but since GPS is a satellite service I think the GPS chips used on cellphones actually communicate straight to the sky and not through the network. The "location" service offered on non-GPS enabled phones is different; that relies on triangulation with nearby cell towers and is not as accurate as GPS.

i gonna buy iphone 2g. in my area there is no 3g network provider, im gonna buy this gadget for hearing songs and make a call and wifi.
is this worth for me? is sound quality same as 3g?
Ya,lot of differences in between them.
So far, we are using only 2G (second generation) network either in GSM or CDMA. In this 2G, we are making calls, doing sms service and GPRS/EDGE internet services.
Where as in 3G (Third generation), its so advanced technology service. Add to the above, we can do mobile broadband in cellphone without cables, we can do video calls, we can see online movies & even we can get connection of Satellite channels.
In India, 3G service is getting started in major cities. For utilizing of this 3G, we need to purchase 3G enabled phones like smart phones.
In nokia, lot of phones are there like 6233 model.
Hope, you may get to know all about 3G.

I want to get a 3g phone, can they be used in any country that has a 3g network? (assuming you are subscribed)
for example will a 3g phone bought in one country work in another country, say new zealand?
they sure can. 3g is all the same around the world. a 3g network in new zealand is like one in the states.

I keep seeing Sprint commercials saying they have the only 3g network..but, then I saw a Verizon commercial saying the same thing. Why does it matter and what the heck is it?
3G allows customers of 3G optimized networks with 3G compatible phones to surf the internet on the phones faster, and allows for somewhat better phone service/call quality.
It matters only if use the internet on your phone regularly.
Sprint is not the only carrier with 3G. AT&T, Verizon and others have 3G service. Please do not forget that commercials are aimed to glorify the company and/or its product and usually hide the truth.
The whole 3G craze was boosted when the new iPhone 3G came out. It is not that dire to have.

Cingular now has 3g network on some phones, what do they do with the former 2g network?
Typically they phase out the older equipment and install new. 2G was very slow in accommodating the data packets that people are starting to use more common place today.
2G uses mostly TDMA or CDMA networks, which originally was an improvement from analog to digital signal, but 3G works better with GSM networks, and GPRS requirements.
Some companies like AT&T/Cingular kept both equipment installed 2G & 3G. But when new towers went in, only 3G/GSM towers were going up. All the TDMA towers were left in place, but eventually people carrying TDMA cell phones, noticed their signal strength was not near what someone else carrying a GSM phone would receive. And then as phones broke down or upgrade new contracts went into effect, the only new equipment you could buy was GSM.
