C'mon guys, flashing radios from other devices is just folly waiting to happen, and when those devices have known hardware differences it's even more stupid. It's certainly not something you should casually recommend to every person walking down the street. Particularly when there's a device specific radio with the same primary features readily available.

A lot of people (including me) have been using the 3.35 radio with no problems at all. It's actually better, and works great with the newer ROMS. Flashing the radio is not that big of a deal, it can always be flashed back to the older one, or to newer ones. I'm really enjoying the revA speeds and GPS. It's one of the top reasons I got this phone in the first place. Just follow the instructions that are posted!

3.35 may have the appearance of working better for you, but that doesn't mean it's better for everyone or safe.

**Edit - when I had the ATT TyTn last year, we were flashing radios all the time. Just look on XDA to see how many there are available for that device, they came from carriers all over the world and people just tried different ones to see which gave them the best reception. Flash away, Flash Flash Flash!

That's just ignorant. Not only should you not take flashing your radio lightly, but that's entirely different than flashing radios from a device known to be different.
The answer to the original posters question of is flashing Titan 3.35 radio safe is a definitive "it is not advised". It never was, and it never will be. The apparent lack of harm of doing so does not change the reccomendation, and presence of a device specific GPS radio reinforces it.
