Personally, I noticed that positioning was a little off this weekend using Google Maps on a Pre Plus (http://gizmodo.com/tag/preplus/) in San Francisco, though the lock wasn't so slow it rung any alarms. It doesn't seem to be particularly widespread, but if you've got a Pre Plus, how's it working for you? [PreCentral (http://www.precentral.net/verizon-palm-pre-plus-mms-wifi-not-friends)]
