I wonder how hard it would be to find out this piece of information.

Who is u-blox by the way? Check this out:

u-blox 5 boasts the fastest acquisition engine in the GPS market. The u-blox 5 chip is composed of two separate engines, one devoted exclusively to acquisition and one correlator engine for tracking. With over 1 million correlators, the dedicated acquisition engine is capable of massively parallel searches.

  • 50 Channels
  • Over 1 million correlators
  • Simultaneously receives GPS, WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and Galileo satellites

Overall, u-blox’ fifth generation chip boasts a 50-channel architecture that enables satellite acquisition in less than 1 second and 160 dBm acquisition and tracking sensitivity.

Yes it fits inside cell phones.
