So I was wondering if I upgrade to the .50 radio if I would get any better service hell even if its 2 bars i'd be happy because it seems when the bars spike to 2-3 my internet speeds up almost triple.

Also is there any harm in downgrading to the .30 from the .50 rom, since they are both gps and rev a i wouldn't think so, but i'm not sure.
I have upgraded and downgraded between .50 and .30 without major any problems. Only slight problem was that I had to do a HLR reload by a sprint rep when I went from .30 to .50.. During that process, my roaming/data was knocked out.

I did not notice any performance changes from .30 to .50. I was still getting the usual bars but performance definitely didn't decrease so I assume it's best to have the most updated radio (.50). Goodluck!
