You are correct. Assisted GPS is faster not only on initial lock, but in every aspect. The reason being it can get info from cell towers and WIFI, and I don't need to explain why it's a good thing to be able to read GPS data from the SAT through cell towers instead of waiting on a very, very slow connection from the SAT directly to the phone.......
