Yeah we need a dB comparison. Bars don't mean anything as their calibration can be different between devices, OSes, carriers, etc.

I can tell you that my Touch sitting side by side with my Mogul gets -65dB on EV while the Mogul gets -78, making my Touch much better for reception.

The one thing I HAVE noticed though is that the Touch flickers between 1X and EV a LOT while my Mogul is totally stable throughout.

Also, EVDO signal is almost always going to be worse than 1xRTT. 1x has enjoyed a lot more deployment thus far.
