Back to Telus... on my Sprint phone.
I would have to agree. The signal has not been very steady. Keeps dropping down to nothing very often and than to 2 bars in places where it should be stronger. Weird behavior on phone calls. Had to call my house 4 times just to get it to connect = that's never happened before. Phone definitely got really warm again just like with the original Sprint radio and down to 60% battery life, with normal use - it would typically still be at 80% at least.
I am flashing back to Verizon for now. Was on Telus before, but am not sure it's very good in my area. Would love to see the 1.07.01 Telus Radio, but nobody has it except for Juicy and some other lucky people.
Will go back to Verizon for now.
