Hi-Mobile.net was ultra-gracious this month to send us over the Nokia N95, the most advanced multimedia smartphone Nokia ever released. Read on for more information in our review, with plenty of pictures and screenshots.

Actually, it can be as bad without the device be broken. Others had similar problems:

I hear that the upcoming E90 Communicator is as "slow" to lockin.

Just hoped it was user error and not the device, heh. Sorry.

if the GPS ephemeris-data is too old, it may take up to 40+ minutes until a lock is acquired. this is a *normal* GPS behaviour.
Also, you must keep it steady until a lock is acquired.
Some devices with assisted GPS will lock fater but that is due to the fact that dat ais loaded into the device so that it knows what sattelite is in view.

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.
