Does A-GPS imply relatively higher Rx sensitivity? You say, the fact that it is assisted has nothing to do with it's Rx sensitivity... I can almost agree with you there! BUT you can surely attribute lower Rx sensitivity to lower cost. Not sure how to answer your question. You're still sh1t out of luck some place where there's no cell reception and you have A-GPS. My rebuttal to your original point was to refute the fact that you said A-GPS is better than GPS.
