That's kinda what I was thinking. Although I would tend to think that it is more an issue of a crappy antenna than a weak receiver. Probably why you see external GPS antenna jacks on some GPS enabled smart phones.

As you said earlier, the device sees satellites but appears to eventually reset before getting a location fix. Maybe there is a timeout setting that can be adjusted.
