is there a program you can run, other then FieldTrial.exe, that will log your signal strength in -db?

As i see it this is the only way to "accurately" compare the signal strengths from one soft reset to another to ensure its not just doing a placebo effect.

As for myself, i have noticed that i see the 1X icon a lot more on the TP2 then i got using the TP and the 6800 in the same locations. But i have not noticed any dropped calls, poor audio quality, or dropped/slow data connections.

I did notice under the Phone->Settings there is an option to change from Global to CDMA Only and GSM Only. Have you guys played with this setting at all?
