It is the most importan information because some times we can't see any bar in the icon and it is not so important.

Here are the specs (Rx Powe/Rx Ec-Io):
Ashland -73/11-14
Castello -92/21-24
Redding -51/11-13

The bars are not nearly accurate enough to make conclusions about signal quality.

Here is another twist, on my Diamond, in a relatively weak DO area but connected to an Airave (1x), the bars display the state of DO (therefore, few bars even though I'm connected to Airave with good 1x service. On my Touch Pro, on the other hand, the bars display the state of 1x (again, connected to Airave) even though the indicator shows "EV". That is to say, even though DO is weak and 1x is strong, the TP will show you "EV" while the bars are actually showing 1x signal strength. In simple terms, two phones, side-by-side, same coverage quality, one has many bars, the other nearly none.

In other words, the Diamond and Touch Pro shows you signal quality on the bars differently. Got that? Remember, there are both 1x and DO portions of the radio at play.


Have a good trip

I should have noted that those of us with USCC are stuck in the dinosaur age with nothing but 1X. According to tech support they are supposed to roll out evdo or 3g sometime early next year.
