News flash: there is a hidden red LED next to the fastport. I haven't seen this mentioned before and the manual (of course) doesn't say anything about it. It's flashing at low battery level. Oh how I wish for another, say green, LED at missed calls.

All I'm getting is this:
The GPS receiver is connected to the phone, but receives no signals.
..which is very annoying. So is my GPS broke? It detects satellites but can't lock on, so I presume it works at least, because it can find them. But why can't it lock on? Is it not powerful enough? I'm just confused!

Well, I share your confusion and will be searching to find a solution. Maybe the firmware isn't that rock solid after all?
On another note, I have this far found the reception during calls to be less stellar than on my previous phone. Today I lost signal all together (city centre) and had to reboot to reconnect.

It could be a firmware issue... Seems like the GPS... has an issue locking onto the sats...
Best to give SE a shout...

I cant get the Way Finder to work as it comes up with an error message saying cant connect to the internet, error 1:501. I have the correct internet settings through WAP as I can use 3G web browsing, configured the application to use the WAP settings. Also I can download the WF v8 software and that is working fine for the 5 day trial, however would prefer the 3 months free - but it wont work
I'm on Vodafone, if that helps

So I started up Wayfinder at home with my WiFi and that worked, went downstairs and got in the car and the C905 found the satellites, and I had the GPS follow my car, I only got one green dot though, not three. I think it does have trouble locking into satellites, it took at least 25 minutes on the way home before it was locked in. I could follow my car but it would not do routes giving me that stupid internet error again even though it was downloading the maps fine.

ooooooh!
On my way back from the all night garage, I thought I'd give it a bash seen as it was a very open area, and wahay! Up and running! It found about 10 satellites no problem, and then gave me turn by turn directions home over my bluetooth car stereo! Nice.
And now it's found those satellites once, it finds them all again double quick, even indoors look;
This from the GPS system that could only find 2 before! You just have to go through the pain of getting that first connection I suppose. I have A-GPS turned on as well to help.

You know, it's getting really hard to find a firmware problem with this phone
Just when you think you've got a problem, you release it's just you being a dork
