Yes, the problems may be down to antenna location and performance more than software or chipset. Also, isn't the N810 covered in metal? If so, not the ideal material for encasing a GPS antenna. Most GPS units I know with an internal antenna have a plastic housing. Does reception stength vary with position of the hands around the N810 too? Too bad there isn't a socket for external antenna.
