My wife and I have variances between our Epics for 3G/4G/Wi-Fi. There seems to be no trend to the differences and one phone does not routinely out perform the other. I think it's just the nature of the beast and a testimony that not all things are created equal.

As gTen pointed out there are so many factors that can contribute to varying signal strength. Our airwaves are so cluttered with crap anymore I'm surprised anything works.

That's my problem, either something happened to Sprint in general in my area or my radio in my Epic is significantly worse then my Mogul. I seldom losted my signal or roamed for that matter, with this phone I had for a month now, I see that triangle several times a day. Between that and the circle with the line threw it, it seems off to me. I'm a eight year customer, so I have a good idea of my usual coverage should look like and the dead zones. I'm actually charging up the 6800 to carry around to compare the two phones. I can't steal my wife's phone on a daily basis...
