Too bad they couldn't have utilized both and used triangulation until a firm GPS lock was aquired. That would have been sweet.

They did. VZNavigator. Unfortunately it;'s crap, and Verizon want to charge you $10 a month to use it. Knowing Verizon, third party support for a-gps will NOT be enabled in the new ROM - they're not going to let you use their towers for anything without you paying.
Amyway, Thanks much Adryn! I'm not getting the results that others are (1.5-3 minutes for a lock for me, no satellites even detected indoors), but it's still better than the 15 minutes to never prior. I still can't seem to get a lock at all while driving - I need to stop and wait the 3 minutes or so. Could be my location, or maybe I just got a bum antenna in my Omnia. Doesn't matter - in a month or three I hope to be cruising an Omnia II!
