Just adding a new datapoint: My new N810, that had very old 42-18 firmware, obtained first fix in a moving car in about 3-4 minutes. (The previous location when the unit was turned on was few days before and couple thousand miles away... so it must have been cold fix.)
I have no experience yet with latest firmware, I just flashed it 30 minutes ago...
UPDATE: After flashing to the "yet to be released" firmware, the fix time was about the same, 4-5 minutes.

Any PowerVR drivers in there by chance?
You can find out by yourself in very near future...

Well well well...
I didn't buy the N810 for its GPS, but...
My N810 has acquired enough sats only 2 times in several weeks, and I'm unhappy with this situation; is there a way to ask _Nokia_ to check & patch ?
What is the _Nokia_ procedure ? (don't tell me to go to www.nokia.com please ;-)
XooH
Clarification : After 10+ minutes, in the best case, I have 1, 2, or 3 sats -i.e. not enough.

@XooH:
Since the GPS antenna is located on the top left hand corner, if you hold the N810 upright with the zoom button pointing up, and have a clear view of the sky, my N810 can lock onto sats in 15-30 sec. Once you have acquired your location, it will maintain the sat positions very well, so you can then tilt the N810 into a more confortable view angle.
You can also read Nokia's FAQ on How to Use GPS. (You might have missed this FAQ on nokia.com)

I have the same connection issue...even when I get 5 to 6 sats it still then takes 10 to 15 more mins to use once they show up on the list as found....it seems as if the power or software to USE the connection is confused. It would be great if Nokia would make a "deb" file with the BEST software/drivers and a interface that would rate what the issue(s) are so they could get feedback from us. An engineer that has the code could easy write such a program a benchmark kind of process.
