Unhappy HTC Touch and GPS Problems

Hey all,

I've recently purchased an HTC Touch from U.S. Cellular. Today I had some time and decided to see if I could get the GPS to work on it. As is obvious, I cannot. I tried a variety of programs and sources (including a search on here) to try and solve this issue, but to no avail. I know I have the correct GPS settings, as I contacted HTC to make sure (COM 4).

Being that the phone is somewhat new, would it be necessary to download a new ROM to solve the issue? I do have the data connection and what not and even though I am in roam, I still have the internet. I read U.S. Cellular's GPS policy and it stated that GPS was available through their easyedge service, but I am not a subscriber. But I figured that since I was downloading 3rd party applications, it was not necessary. Plus, it would be pointless, as my current location does not have easyedge support.

Any ideas on how to remedy this issue? Any and all advice is much appreciated.-Kevin
