Is anyone else in a large city experiencing issues with the GPS finding their location?

I realize this probably has to do with the fact that im surrounded by skyscrapers, but I still find it a little odd that not a single GPS satellite is found. Could this be a defect in my phone?
 
make sure WIFI is turned off
Actually, make sure wifi is turned ON. It will get a fix with that if you are in a place shielded from satellites that is more accurate than cell id. Are you getting any positioning data at all? Have you ever? Are you sure the settings are correct?

Before VZW unlocked gps's wifi was the next best thing.
