As usual, if you check out the support/user forums you only really see the people who are complaining about the product. Its my first WM5 phone and I couldnt be happier. GPS fix can vary from 15-30secs. With no external antenna i was surprised by the signal strength. GPS integration is done by the standard com ports. Took a little bit of time finding the right setting, but apps like Tomtom etc work flawlessly with it. No coverage errors are thrown after a set timeout period of about 2mins. Couldnt say whether it keeps trying or not, but at least in tomtom/destinator/gps progs they do alert you if no fix could be found. If a fix is lost (eg. going through a tunnel) most programs report last known location until a fix can be found. Hey Angus,

I'm interested in your view of GPS Integration GPS start up time (I presume no network assist for faster sub 10 secs startup) GPS no coverage handing. Many of the dash board systems now realise they can't see the sky and keep pushing out the last known fix. How does the eten handle that (I guess it would make more sense to be application based) overall hapiness with phone (eg pro.con list) Chris, just wondering a couple of weeks on how you are finding the Eten.
