GPS Performance?
 
How is the GPS? does it lag 50 to 75 yards behind where you really are like the Pro, or is it spot on?

very accurate, maybe a yard off lol and very quick to lock on to satellites. overall I was impressed, specially after the crappy GPS in the TP.

Ive found the PRE's gps to be far better than my Touch....but I guess that isnt saying much.

I do get a lock-on now at work though, in the building, which I never did before. Oh and to give detail, I work in a telecom office....so we have high signal equipment running all over this place.

That is good news. My upgrade comes up in September, so there will be more bugs ironed out by then. This phone is looking good.

My Pre keeps up with the stock navi in my car.

The best part is that the Pre gets a signal from the towers, WIFI, ANNND GPS..

I am getting an exact location in less than 5 seconds on google maps inside a bunker/server room.

This blows the hell of any WM phone I've used. I'm glad I made the switch. Now that they have took the lid off all the developer-mode stuff, I am getting really excited. I've never seen a phone launch so hard before. It's been DAYS and we have nearly two-dozen USEFUL third-party applications, and the built-in stuff is amazing.
