I'm getting 24+ hours of light use with OMGB. Not quite as good as FRX07.1, but darn close.

GPS worked on the previous OMGB (12-21 + acoustic) when I added the 1.2.2 gps.rhodium.so library into the build. Lock was not super fast, but not bad.
It never locked on a location inside for me. I don't ever remember being able to get a GPS lock indoors with WinMo, so I'm guessing it's a hardware limitation.
One problem I saw (more inferred) was that the GPS wasn't being fully turned off because battery life would go to he!! until I rebooted.
It was also fairly certain to get a hard lock-up (requiring reset button) if I was actively using the GPS for more than 20-30 minutes (Maps while driving, c:geo for geocaching, etc).
