Can anybody shed some light on this?

EDIT: Just went and stood outside for 5 minutes and GPSTest gave me 1 satellite. It seems to be getting worse.

Finally!! I solved this issue by inputting different Bell SUPL settings into the /system/etc/gps.conf file. Apparently Bell phones (or mine in particular) cannot get data from the XTRA GPS servers and the correct Bell SUPL server is necessary. The server and port I entered were from the registry in WinMo.

Host 216.198.139.92
Port 8889

I am now getting locks in 10 secs a la WinMo even indoors. YMMV.
