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.
those 10 minutes, are a <12minutes spot it takes to get a fix unassisted, a device started in a new (does also mean not used for a longer period of time) location needs to download (receive in this case) the satellite data of at least 3 satellites to get a fix, this delay can be up to 12 minutes due to the data rate the satellites are streaming. on my sony it takes about 8 minutes and then it pops up with 6+ satellites following
