Are there any Bell HTC Touch users who get an actual Satellite number in Google Maps or GPS Today which pinpoints your exact location? I'm convinced there is no such thing as a real GPS on the Bell HTC Touch and can only be achieved through a bluetooth GPS receiver.
Hmmmm, wrong, since I can get a lock within 1-2 minutes on a cold boot. I get anywhere between 3 and 8 satellite locks. And it's pretty accurate too.
