True, it's been less than a day, but so far in Los Angeles the newest Verizon radio has definitely improved performance for me.

While the ##DEBUG# numbers aren't dramatically better where I live, my test txt messages so far have been delayed by only 15 minutes at worst (not ideal, but a big improvement over half a day at worst!) and phone calls are coming through well.

I'll stick with it and see if it's improved overall reliability over time. Sprint really screwed up their radio design for weak signal areas, methinks!

Also the phone gets noticeably less hot, so I expect battery life will improve as well. Yay!
