There is a similar thread running on the developer list but no answers from Openmoko. Normal for a cold start would be 45secs-2min and with agps ~15secs. This is industry standard and stated on the specs page of u-blox. The GTA01 (Neo 1973) gets a fix in one minute after a cold start. All modern chips (and the u-blox is a modern chip) can get a fix without downloading the full almanac (which takes 12.5 minutes). The ephemeris is sufficient and comes in 30secs. I think this is an important issue and hope that Sean or Wolfgang can give answers. I CC'd Steve too, because this equally effects the VAR markets. If they don't answer it is probably the best to send your FR back before the warrenty expires and buy a new FR once this issue is resolved.
