The oddity is that the phone itself did not reset and did not go into WM, Android just jumped to X for no clear reason (watchdog?) and then got into this Android-with-no-data.
When it drops back to the boot animation and then comes back (it's happened to me a number of times) it means that the kernel hasn't panicked, the low level stuff is ok... but Android crashed and restarted. Sometimes it'll go from there into a boot loop... sometimes it'll come back up and run fine.

Since Android restarted, but the modem didn't reinitialize, it probably had trouble figuring out how to bring up a network connection. It's possible going into and out of airplane mode (or manually dropping 3G and then bringing it up again, though I think you need a 3rd party widget to do that) would resolve it, but I'm not sure.

Is aGPS enabled for Bell Mobility in Android? Is there some .conf file that I can simply add the servers to (wishful thinking)?
Some folks have mentioned turning on GPS and trying to get a lock in WinMo before booting into Android. Something about having the ephemeris updated helping to get locks quicker.

I still haven't played with it, so I have no idea. I gather that if people are getting locks in under 15-20 minutes, aGPS in general must be functioning. It would seem that if it works at all, it should work on Bell.
