Which Devices Support Javascript Geolocation via navigator.geolocation?

The iPhone supports geolocation in mobile Safari via the following call:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
  function(pos){
    var lat = pos.coords.latitude;
    var long = pos.coords.longitude;
  },
  function(){
    /* Handler if location could not be found */
  }
);

I'd like to build a good list of devices that have one of the following:

  1. support this feature out of the box, or
  2. support this feature with an upgrade, or
  3. support geolocation with equivalent fidelity of data with some other snippet of Javascript.

I'm only familiar with my own device, so this is my list so far:

Out of the box:

  1. iPhone 3GS

Supported, but only with an update

  1. iPhone 3G
  2. iPhone 2G (?)
  3. PC or Mac computer with Firefox 3.5

Supported with some other snippet

?

What is the level of support in Blackberry, Android phones, etc?

From a similar more recent topic:

"I'm working on an open source library that supports all javascript location capable phones with the W3C standard. So far it supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and some fringe browser platforms running in a browser. The lib can also be used when writing web stack standalone apps for Nokia OVI and the Palm WebOS.
