I've tried Sprint's agps settings, only to find them locked down to Sprint phones (or phones with Sprint service at least D)
Also tried Verizons from the aGPS provisioning cab, etc etc...

jmorton, I'm curious what your gpsone / registry settings are. Mine are set as in the CAB:
HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
<parm name="ServerIP" datatype="string" value="66.174.95.132"/>
<parm name="ServerPort" datatype="integer" value="8888"/>
<parm name="GPSMode" datatype="integer" value="4"/>

I know I'm missing something... does anyone have working aGPS settings for TP on Verizon? I've read that the Telus canada servers might be an option, but I wanted to see if anyone here was using them.

Overall, the GPS works great on my phone (slight lag) and decent locks if I am outside.

I did have some crazy incident last week (while travelling and actually needed it!!!!) where the GPS couldn't get more than 2 sats... quickgps and booting didn't do a darn thing... then 20 minutes later it worked fine, but for this I have 0 explanation... even the sky was clear. I had to power up my laptop and bust out the USB GPS adapter to get where I needed to.

If anyone does have an answer for this, please let me know. For some reason I can't seem to let this go as this crappy Sprint BB Curve can get GPS locks I can only dream of.

well thats what i have in pst and my registry. i just went in the bathroom no windows...shut the door and got a lock in under 10 seconds.....my garmin doesnt do that...so im assuming it must be working in some capacity.
