Hi.
I know nothing about Android, and have no real interest in it (as I voted in a poll elsewhere), but I did have a Samsung Omnia a couple years back and the GPS (and GSM, etc.) on that too was completely hopeless. My office is right next to Swisscom, which has a ruddy great mast on its roof, and still I got only one bar!
Perhaps it's just a Samsung-ism?
Forget all this fangled stuff. Bring back the Siemans C35. The best phone I ever had. It had WAP and everything (is that still going?)

BITPIM(1) General Commands Manual BITPIM(1)
NAME
bitpim - utility to communicate with many CDMA phones
SYNOPSIS
bitpim [ -c file | -d dir ] [ -f model ] [ -p device ] [ bitfling ] [ debug ] [ cli-command ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bitpim command.
BitPim allows you to view and manipulate data on many phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo, and other manufacturers that use Qualcomm CDMA chips.
Depending on your phone model, you may be able to access the phone book, the calendar, wallpapers, ring tones, and the filesystem.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-c file
Read configuration from file.
-d dir Read configuration from dir/.bitpim.
-f model
Assume a phone type of model rather than what the configuration file specifies. Particularly useful in CLI mode.
-p device
Communicate with the phone via the device ("port") device.
bitfling
Run as bitfling(1).
debug Print debugging information to standard output and standard error.
cli-command
Interact with the phone's filesystem via a command-line interface. The command must be a single (quoted) argument, and can take any
of the following forms:
cli Bring up an interactive shell, allowing all of the below commands as well as a few others (cd dir, cdu, exit, and pwd or
equivalently cwd).
cp src [...] destdir
Copy files to, from, or within the phone.
ll dir [...]
Print a detailed listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
ls dir [...]
Print a brief listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
mkdir dir [...]
Create a directory on the phone.
rm file [...]
Remove one or more files from the phone.
rmdir dir [...]
Remove one or more directories, which must already be empty, from the phone.
Please note that none of these commands accepts wildcards. To indicate that an argument denotes a file or directory on the phone,
you can prefix it with phone:; this is mainly relevant for cp, which performs phone-to-PC copies unless otherwise directed.
FILES
$HOME/.bitpim-files/.bitpim
The default configuration file.
