Telus CDMA Diamond GPS?

I have the Telus version running Juicy 2.4.1 ROM and don't know if this unit has true GPS built in. Anyone know? When I run Google Maps and activate GPS it doesn't lock onto any satellites.

All Telus Diamonds have GPS fully enabled. Juicy has been good enough to include QuickGPS, tap Start\Programs and scroll down to find it. Go outside and run it so your Diamond will know where in the sky to look for the satellites. Then run Google Maps and watch it lock in less than 10 seconds. I can't stress the "go outside" part enough, I wasted countless hours trying to get my GPS working while inside when all I had to do was go out on my deck.
Hope that helps!

I wonder if the Sprint US versions have different GPS receivers, because I have never had a problem getting a signal inside (even without QuickGPS).

Read the sticky.

And they're the same phone.
