@j.s - thanks for the clarification re: atomic clocks and timing; i should have just read wikipedia before posting.

re: nokia being 'lazy' with software... gpsjinni gets a lock in sensible time without data but "Ovi Maps" can't. you can switch to ovi maps when you get a lock on gpsjinni and it works. this must be a software issue?

my N95 didnt have A-GPS and could get a GPS lock without data. this hardware and design predated the N900 by 2 years. means/proves nothing in particular for the N900 but worth mentioning?
