And, for software fix, as we tested in lab and community helped GPS verification. Software fix good as hardware in most user scenarios. Personally, I also using neo as biking computer without hardware fix, and performance is acceptable as hardware fixed device (40 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes). If you really un-comfortable with your current neo status, please go support.openmoko.com and create ticket for this issue, we could help you there. Thanks, - -- Neng-Yu Tu (Tony Tu) Openmoko, Inc.
