Well, I think I'll keep her.

I just did a bunch of Youtube checks to watch the European Omnias work the GPS. While nobody directly answered my questions on one persons screen I DID SEE A ROW OF SATELLITE STRENGTH BARS! These look a bit like a series of tiny volume bars and they indicate the strength of each satellite signal. 2 of them give you a 2D fix while and 3 available will give you your elevation as well. That means it is indeed a REAL GPS! Which is a big deal for me since I do a lot of outdoor stuff and often in and out of cell tower range.

Now, if we can just kick some Verizon asss so we can use what we paid for....
