And here I was hoping that the N900's GPS would be better than the N810's, which almost never worked for me... :-)

there have been claims on twitter that the new firmware (42-11) has better GPS responsiveness. so will have to wait and see,

Most of the time, I cannot get a fix on my location using the internal GPS.
This problem occurs in different scenarios. For example, when I open the map
program that ships with the phone it sometimes can get a fix but most of the
times it cannot. I have compiled and run on the phone the sample GPS program
provided in the wikis and have the same issue there.
I seem to have better results when I am at home, maybe that's because I am
also connected to the wifi when I am there..?
Two people I know have been unable to get a fix at all since they got the
N900..
Anyone had the same issues?

This GPS lag is disappointing, even more so after reading the bugzilla entry. The N95-1 could take 10 minutes to get a lock unassisted, but being completely unable to do so is not very good for the new Nokia top dog.

I'm actually having a problem myself. The GPS won't connect and the connection times out because it thinks ovi map is inactive. From what I see, the bug is only limited to not having a network connection, but obviously I'm getting 3.5G data.
I also want to confirm if the location server under, network positioning is correct. Is the location server suppose to be supl.nokia.com?
One more thing, since I've gotten the phone, not once have I got a gps connection. I've also tried different places too, but no luck.

So I get good GPS, but no MIC and no auto focus!! Can't have everything I suppose ;-)

while I waiting for my N900... continue to use my N800 + external bluetooth and I can get a fix in about 20sec. on N95 may wait 10-15min before I get a fix.

Maybe I'll have to trade in my N900 for another one. Seeing how you guys can get a fix and I can't what so ever. Could be a defective unit.
