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

I went from the Stock Sprint Radio to the Telus 1.04.05. Here's what I'm seeing so far:

Positive
-increased battery life (10-15%, nearly a day with my typical usage)
-phone runs cooler (streaming hulu via skyfire for prolong periods doesn't get the phone as hot as before.
-has not caused any problems with phone usage

Negative
-data speeds decreased (50-100% slower via various speedtests, downloads, tethering)
-signal quality slightly decreased (a bar less in my house and spikes often while before it was quite stable)

Not sure if I'll stick with this radio. I will probably try the TP one next. Possibly the Verizon after. On a side note, can anyone confirm that using the verizon nbh file in a different loader will flash the radio without a hard reset?
