[Jan 15th New Sprint Radio V1.11.00F] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Thread

[PintozozDIAM]

after reading over 9000 posts in this thread, Ive come to the conclusion that the best radio depends mostly on your location. I live in a big city (Miami) and unfortunatly (wow cant believe i forgot how to write that word. no time to google spell check) i live in an area where I constantly jump from EVDO to 1x, having to force 1x for my battey to last over 6 hours. NOw... I dunno anything at all about radios, but im guesssing if I flash another one, it should be better.

My questions is, has anyone in the MIAMI area tried the radios? and if so, which one is the best for you?

WOW...9000 posts in this thread? Big thread....
Honestly though , I think this is post 1018 or something, not 9000.

And as far as best radio in the Miami area, I assume that's where you live, how about flashing to the different ones, and give us your results, that might help someone else out!!!

Lol, I'm sure he was just exaggerating a bit, but the point stands. I'm curious if anyone is in the Albuquerque, NM market has had any success. My data rate completely bl0ws badly and I'm starting to hate my phone with a passion. I think I was under the mistaken impression that ABQ already had Rev/A active.

I'm running STRAIGHT UP STOCK, no mods, nothing. Would flashing to say a Verizon radio rom give the Rev/A speed or am I just completely SOL?

I would say give it a shot. I'm in Pittsburgh, solid rev a area but with the stock radio, my signal on average is 2 bars less than with the telus radio which I am sold on. Now, data speeds are fairly similiar but if you are not getting a consistent signal, it may make the differerence between 1x data (horrible) and ev 0-2 bars. I especially notice a difference with the telus radio indoors. but you need to make sure to unlock properly and follow the instructions. it's easy to do and you can always go back if needed. I tried the Verizon radio a while back but can't comment on the difference now.

edit: according to the map on Sprint. rev a is active in your city.
