N900 GLONASS support?

Is the N900 with the Russian satellite navigation system "GLONASS" compatible? Is there any way to get use of it or even combine it with the GPS signals? I ask with a good reason because Wikipedia says the following:

Quote:

Current GPS and phone baseband chips from major vendors ST-Ericsson, Broadcom and Qualcomm all support GLONASS in combination with GPS. Any import restriction is likely to have little change as most devices shipping worldwide will soon support GLONASS

The technical specs of GLONASS seems to be way better than the GPS ones.

Re: N900 GLONASS support?

I really doubt the GPS chipset we have in N900 has GLONASS support, they not only work on completely different bands compared to the regular GPS but probably even different protocols.

I'm sure a 2009 year device back then compared to literally every other devices of the same era would have not thought of using GLONASS instead of having pure GPS.
