My new phone has geotagging on so when take pix i get the lat and long. How do i use this in flickr and also see the details when off my phone?
Is it a C905 by any chance?
Mine has geotagging but it takes about 30 secs for the phone to wake up the GPS and tag the picture.
I'm usually bored by then and give up!
However, I believe it works by adding the lat and long to the JPG EXIF (textual ID of the image as part of the JPG file) and I believe flickr should just pick it up automagically...
Have you tried it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging
"With photos stored in JPEG file format, the geotag information is typically embedded in the metadata (stored in Exchangeable image file format (EXIF) or Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) format). These data are not visible in the picture itself but are read and written by special programs and most digital cameras and modern scanners. Latitude and longitude are stored in units of degrees with decimals[2]. This geotag information can be read by many programs, such as the cross-platform open source ExifTool."
