Lucky you. Please enjoy and appreciate it.

The difference in response may be due to hardware, software, settings, available GPS signal, a-GPS signal.... a whole ost of things. Which I assumed was the point of this thread.

Took me a second or two - but thanks for the smile.

Ok, further to the above. With the a-gps off, it said it couldn't get a position. but was still sucking data. I'm assuming that's the maps? I don't have them pre-loaded... is there some way I can do that?

With the a-gps on, it got an accurate lock within about 45 seconds. And sucked a huge pile of data. So that's tomorrow's data consumption gone.

Is that information helpful?

Well my phone is all fine, congrats to nokia thay did a great job but i have a biger problem:

-PC suite my phone is not yet supported
-Ovi suite my phone is not yet suported
-And my software updater is saying that my win 7 is not yet supported so cant innstal it....
-Maps loader my phone not yet supported

What im supose to do now or till they make it work all????

Check you have the most up-to-date version of pc suite. There have been new updates in the last couple of days. Can't be sure of win7 but I can connect fine to vista and XP. (Ovi suite is not supported)

It is good to see that more and more people are voting NO in the Poll

Wasn't aware

GPS on my N900 is stunningly fast - as long as there's a network connection available. I've never had a phone that could get a GPS fix that fast - really impressed with it.

When there's no network connection though, it's hopeless. It won't get a fix no matter how long I wait (there's a open issue in bugzilla for this already).

The problem I have isn't with the GPS per se but more with the mapping / navigation application, Ovi Maps. But I guess that this isn't the subject of this thread.

SO if there is not a modem or something that sends wi-fi then it is most unlikely to get a signal? Oh and if you get a signal from a network connection and then disconnect you will still have a lock and can walk around in the city?

BTW this is not hardware issue cause it can get lock with network right?

Thanx
I am new at these.

You can still get a GPS lock without having a data connection of some sort (a data connecting being your celluar provider or a wifi point). AGPS just helps you get that lock faster through using that data connection. But it's not needed.
