Its good to hear that the GPS performs well once locked. I wonder if it is doing a cold boot everytime and doesn't try to hot-start from last known coordinates? I consider time to first fix an important aspect of a GPS system, as I just want to jump in my car and go and not have to wait several minutes until I can start driving. My N95's GPS is atrociously bad and I was fearing the worst wrt the n810. It is good to hear that it is at least good at some things. I will be giving mine a lot of fairly rigorous testing when I get my n810 tomorrow. I want to use it for Geocaching, as well as directions.
