I haven't seen anybody try testing the new radio the way I have just yet... It literally makes my phone unusable while travelling. If you are in an EVDO area and can get pretty easily to a 1x area you can test it too. Just tether your phone to a notebook computer (alt. you may just be able to stream some music on the handset for a while) and drive out of the EV service area... It usually takes about 20 minutes of my phone streaming data on EV to die, but as I leave the EV zone it hard locks just the internet connection on the device. No data will transfer, the data arrows go grey and the phone refuses to manually halt the connection. This requires a soft reset to correct. Now if I stay in EV all day in the same spot, it may be different - but I drive a semi for a living and its not too often I hang out in one place for too long.
For those of you just chillin' in one spot, this upgrade is probably good for you. Once you travel though I think you will find the resets get annoying after a while. I have tried this radio rev. with 3 different ROM's now and get the same results each time.
(Note - I also noticed instead of just getting these 'gains' in performance, driving through Ohio yesterday it actually degraded performance severely in quite a few spots... this upgrade is a huge YMMV...)
