What phone has the best Sattelite Reception?

[yaozer]

My Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is quite good. I also get satellite reception within 10 seconds (or less). I am really convinced it is because of the HTC QuickGPS software.

leimajmaodon, yes the S7350 Ultra S is an A-GPS enabled phone based on specs reported on the net, but it seems its operating system is a proprietary Samsung OS, so I don't think Garmin Mobile XT can be installed into it.

My Samsung Omnia HD I8910 gets its sats reception below 10 sec. Compared side by side with Nokia N97, it's pretty faster getting signal from GPS satellites.
It's what I have observed.

Hmmm I'm not really sure whether Garmin Mobile XT can be used on non-touchscreen Windows Mobile phones (WinMo Standard). The non-touchscreen Nokia E71 works because it has a different Garmin version than the Windows Mobile one. There definitely are differences in the user interface between the Windows Mobile and Symbian versions, but I don't know if Garmin cares whether your WinMo version is a Standard or a Professional one. Anyone here who uses a Windows Mobile Standard version OS phone is encouraged to shed some light on this.

I'm using a samsung omnia pro B7320. for an economy class smartphone i think the built in gps receiver works great. i was able to get a full satellite signal in just a few seconds on my newly installed garmin mobile xt.( sorry if my terms are wrong im new in this"GPS thing")

hi sir. for omnia, you have the option to autorotate and you can also set it to rotate manually using either the hard button (by setting it) or the usual disable auto-rotate settings.
me? i disable the autorotate and set my main menu button as rotate button
