Yes, it's slow to get a fix if it's cloudy but never taken longer than 3-4 minutes; through the windscreen.
Me too.
But if you do not have parts of almanach already downloaded (e.g. newly flashed) or moved far away from your last known position or did not use GPS for a long period, then it may take up to 12 minutes even under optimal conditions. So it just needs time (especiall yfor first fix) ....
The GPS chip in N900 is best I've ever used in a mobile device (except Garmin and Co of course )

sixwheeldbeast is that true? Did you check on your own? Or just rumour?
I really would like to knwo why my N900 does not get supl support (via WLAN), but my N97 still gets (via GPRS)!
