I dont know which is a bigger problem, cant get a lock or cant get a reliable lock. Cant lock, simple, you just bought it, right? call Nokia and get a replacement. Cant get a reliable lock is problem. And that is what I have. Sometimes it locked within minutes, or more likely, it locked in 5 - 10 min. But occassionally, it never lock, and after 'waiting' for 30 min or so, a reboot, sometimes will get it locked within minutes. And sometimes, it just wont lock even after hrs and hrs. Mine is still 5 months old, I am really really thinking to get a replacement, as most user reported lock in under 2 min.
BTW, I digged out my GPS for the winCE machine, only about 3 yrs old. It also takes somtime to get locked. It is NOT or SiRF III unit. However, the difference is, this GPS will lock, after 4-5min and you can depend on it to lock after 4-5min. While the Nokia, no telling.
