Re: [DEC 5th New Telus Radio V1.04.05V] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Thread

Just loaded the Telus radio v1.04.05V on my Sprint Touch Diamond. Installed from the internal storage and worked perfectly. It's only been about 20 minutes, but here are my initial findings:

1.] +1 bar at my office.
2.] Text messages work with NO lag time in delivery, both ways
3.] Internet works great. It may have taken a few extra seconds to connect than before [1 to 4 seconds max].
4.] GPS took about 20 seconds to find and lock on to 6 satellites. Takes a few seconds longer than before. HOWEVER, I could never find a single satellite inside my office. I'm on the second floor surrounded by concrete with 3 floors above me. I think GPS is way better.
5.] Using Google Maps for 5 minutes with both GPS and Internet for downloading the map, I feel no increase in warmth. I think the heat issue has been somewhat reduced with the new radio.

I will post an update in a couple of days. But so far I LIKE IT!!
