I haven't had a problem getting locks, my problem is using it for navigation. Using Google Maps I'll randomly get the blue circle around me, which means it doesn't have a good lock and its an approximate location...and I have the Captivate. I have a Garmin, so I only rely on my phone for navigation if I don't have my Garmin with me.
So far Samsung has dropped the ball on the GPS issues. Its hard to tell if its software or hardware. I know they're using a new Broadcom chip, but there are a few phones (Nokia and maybe a BB) that use it without problems.
Hopefully they'll have it fixed for everyone when Froyo comes out (if its software/driver issues).

Actually...from what was ehard recently the Epic and Fascinate use a different GPS chip...we got the same one as in the Droid made by Qualcomm...since I'm not hearing GPS issues with the Droids would have to assume its a software issue. Though my GPS seems to work ok :/
