Any news on the new Telus rom being released here, soon? New one being Telus 1.07.01 obviously.

So how do I know the update worked?
I see in the original post it states:
"Warrning: After flashing a radio it will preform a RTN, this is a hard reset that the radio initiates. BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING A RADIO ROM."

But after it updated, the phone didn't perform a hard reset. Also when I check the version with RomUpdateUtility.exe it still reports the same version as before hand: 1.06.661.1. This is on the Sprint Diamond and I'm trying to update with the Telus radio.

the Telus radio is packaged so that it doesn't hard reset your phone. The others that dont hard reset your phone are the new Sprint radio 1.11.00f and the older Sprint tp 1.03.xxf radio rom. You are all set!

also you can check to see the version of you radio, go to Start>Settings>System tab>Device Information and it listed there.

I have been running the Telus V1.04.05V radio for about 1 month and I love it. It is MUCH better than the stock Sprint radio 1.00. Tonight I decided to try the new Sprint radio v1.11.00F.

After 20 minutes, my initial reaction is that it runs a few degrees warmer. Also, I do notice that the Telus radio seems to be more stable. It seems to display the same number of bars all of the time if I leave it stationary on my desk. However, in the exact same spot on my desk, the Sprint radio fluctuates down 1 to 2 bars, then up 1 to 2 bars. When it's up, it's higher than the Telus radio and when it's down 2 bars it's lower. I guess that means on average the Sprint radio is about the same but it's more sensitive to signal strength changes than the Telus radio.

I will post an update in about a week. I'm in the San Fernando Valley just North of downtown Los Angeles, CA.

UPDATE:
Second full day using Sprint 1.11.00F: It appears that when using PUSH email all day, the Sprint radio uses slightly less power. I had more battery left after the exact same time period. [I will post exact times and battery levels at the end of my first week of testing]. HOWEVER, I did use the phone to make 1 hour worth of calls while plugged into an outlet and WOW did it get warm. I have been using the Telus radio for some time and I forgot how hot this phone could get. This alone may push me back to the Telus radio as this heat is not good for the long-term life of the phone. The circuit board will expand and contract more with this excessive heat causing it to fail eventually.
