I've had some -strange- issues though. Not problems, just weird things happen.

For comparison, my Helio Ocean (which has notoriously HORRIBLE cell reception by the way) got 4/5-5/5 bars of service in my apartment anywhere. My new Touch Pro got 1/7-2/7 if I was lucky in most places. Both operate on Sprint's network.

I reflashed to the Telus radio and started seeing 5/7-6/7 bars anywhere around the apartment, it would occasionally do something like 2/7 momentarily, but it would jump right back up... great! Not only was the Telus radio giving me immensly improved battery life, my service was vastly better as well.
How can I go about flashing a radio?
I know where to get the files, but how do I actually flash it? haha

And I'm considering flashing to the Telus radio, but do you think that might make it worse for me? Since I live in Hawaii and I don't think we have Telus here?
