I went out to test GPS twice, on two different days. Both days with no clouds in the sky, here in the San Mateo area. Both times I could not lock in to the satellites. It would "see" 1 or 2 satellites (and then lose connection with 1 of them) but it wouldn't ultimately lock in. The device still thinks I am in Helsinki or something. I waited for over 10 minutes on each time.
Thing is, my Bluetooth GPS dongle did not have any such problem when I tested it a few months ago with my PocketPC phone.

ah, well, if it believes its in Helsinki, it'll be looking for the wrong satellites 
Would explain the few visible sats, its finding them on the horizon.
Beats me why else it shouldn't work. From a cold start, my GPS can get 4 to 8 in a minute even in my densely wooded + hilly area.

Weird that you had GPS problems, I've heard quite the opposite review of the GPS reception - http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/2007/04/nokia-n95-tracking-from-sa...

I've had my eye on this phone for a while, and will be probably replacing my p910i with it.
