Finally, I went into settings -> location and saw that the "enable" checkbox for GPS was blank. I think I had disabled GPS once, but it didn't turn back on automatically. Hope this might help some of you.
Same thing here. I have always had this setting turned off, and just recently my n900 started careing, and the gps stopped working. Turned it back on, and everything is fine.

Maybe a recent upgrade of something has made the difference. I have always wondered what that setting did, never made any difference wether it was on or off until now..
