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?
Signal strength, at least for me, is not an issue. I gave one of the techs my address and he said 'wow you're literally right on top of the tower' I said yep, have 4 full bars.

Yes I tried just using the CDMA only setting, had no effect.
