OK, between all the dire warnings about flashiong a new radio ROM and this, I think I'll just stay with the stock radio (I'm a coward).

Thanks for the info.

I understand you being nervous about this process. Truthfully, this is getting a little blown out of proportion. Flashing a radio rom is pretty much the same as flashing a normal rom. The only difference is the if things go south (someone turns the power off your computer while flashing, you pull the usb plug out, lightning strikes, etc), the process of fixing the device are much more involved than if you mess up a normal rom flash and sometimes it just not fixable. However, the chance of something going wrong is minimal. What they are saying is you should have the information backed up by writing down these numbers(your MIP settings) or someone even suggested taking pictures of these screens just in case. I did this with my digital camera. You just need your unlock number which is provided to you by Sprint if you ask for it.

Really the radios are all fairly similiar but the newer ones do provide some benefits over the stock radio rom. This is based off many users experiences but it also depends on how your use your device. If you are getting a good signal now, don't use data that much or gps, phone doesn't get too warm, then you probably don't need to do this. But most people that use their phones alot find the newer radios to provide better battery life, signal strength, and less heat on the hand (some getting the benefit of all three, some getting one benefit). So it all depends on your preference being comfortable with the process. It's really not a big deal but people just want you to be aware of the dangers that are possible but very improbable.

I dropped the VZW radio into a custom RUU that won't hard reset your phone before I flashed. Here's a rapidshare link for those that want the radio but don't want the hard reset. It's only good for 10 dl's so if someone has premium account and would like to host for others, that would be cool. Also be nice to update the first post. =)

I flashed the Telus Radio without much experiance.

Took about 6 minutes and no hard reset or data loss.

Worked very smoothly for me....fyi

New telus works awesome for me too. My first radio flash and after the racing heart stage past and realized from a google search on some other guides, its not as nightmarish and we all kind of get thinking. Bam, new radio and its looking 10x better than what I was using

Thanks!

Any feedback from people that currently with Telus? Is the new Telus Radio better than the stock Telus radio? Any info is much appreciated!

Been using it for over a month. It works great. Never had a problem with it. I have noticed the phone does not get as hot with heavy usage. data and voice quality are good.
