Except from the Microphone problem I decided to make a poll about the A-GPS too. So if you OWN n900 vote, please

Thanx

Not sure if you need to be specific?

Havne't tried, never having used GPS in either of my previous phones. Do you want me to test GPS or a-GPS? (If I were to use it, it would be GPS alone, anyway)

Will need to wait a few - I'm inside a granite house and not going out to wait for a GPS lock as it's hissing down out there.

Classically GPS doesn't work at all indoors, much less in a granite house. You might still be able to get a position based on cell triangulation, but it would be less precise.

Also, just for sake of curiosity, why would you not by trying a-GPS? No data connection?

Precisely. I know there's a connection via a-gps here... though I've not tried in on n900. I will go out to walk the dog in a while, and I'll test it then. There's really not much point in testing indoors.

Mine has a global positioning problem in so much as it's not yet positioned within my reach. Biggest problem with the device so far for me
