Re: GPS question...

Assisted GPS is totally available thru Verizon. Its required on ALL cell phones for E911 so they can pin point emergency calls. I recommend trying a different ROM than the one you're using. I've always had Verizon and with this phone I've had ROM get better GPS than others. Right now I'm using Whosdaman's and it gets locks in the city around tall buildings without a problem. I've had the same experience from Negamann's ROM over at PPCHaven.com and from OMJ's.
What radio are you on? 3.42.50 seems to get me faster locks than 3.37 did.
