Yes, I quite understand that. My GPS can take ages if I don't reset it and give it location + time, then it knows which sats might be where, and finds them quickly.
I just looked through the manual for the n95, couldn't see anything about resetting the GPS. Maybe its related to the time / world clock (set as current city) options?
For cases where it just has to find the sats, it shouldn't take more than 6 minutes.
Otherwise it's broken or you're blocking the signal.

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.
