i havent dropped into 1x. dont think i used to that often on my last radio either, the telus one. signal seems to be the same as the telus, but its a good signal. but i think the battery life may be better- havent done any serious tests or anything, it just seems to last longer after being on the internet for a while this morning. im about positive that its at least not worse than the telus.

other opinions?

my first full day with this radio has been fine overall. No noticeable difference for me on the battery end. data has been as good or better than telus. But the telus is very good as well. strange thing is this radio bounces around alot with bars, somewhat similiar to the sprint 1.11.00f radio. I wonder if people are switching to 1x mode more often due to fact that the bars are noticeably less on this radio. I know bars are somewhat irrelevant/inaccurate but that makes me wonder if the device is switching over thinking that the ev signal is too weak?

hey guys wondering, i was running the sprint rom at first had problems then flashed to the verizon radio and been pretty good so far. Going to try this one right now. Question is, here is new england it's said that Verizon gets one of the best receptions around. Would keeping the verizon radio maybe get better reception when i roam on their towers?

I flashed this this morning from Telus... This was less than 8 hours ago and my battery has sunk to 47% already because of the poor signal. I live in North Central Illinois.

Everytime I take it out of my pocket, it's warm. (warmer than normal) and I haven't used it ONCE today, I've received 2 text messages all day, no internet browsing, no data connection, no phone calls, no outbound messages...

Needless to say.. I'm going back to Telus.

Just my experience.

had the verizon radio...flashed to this radio and was once again experiencing delayed text messages just like with almost all the sprint radios..flashing to the telus rom since everyone seems it works the best.

I'm getting some pretty decent results with the 1.07.06F radio.

Data speeds are quite good. Jury is still out on the battery life, but it's looking pretty good.

Looks like this is gonna be an upgrade for me. Thanks again ajm.

i'd have to say, for me, this radio performs data speed- / signal-wise about the same as the telus radio. maybe a better -or at least more consistent- signal for me, sometimes. but something about it has improved my battery life (maybe the more consistent signal??) but, as with all radios, it looks like this one's performance depends on where you actually are located.

What is the best one to use for Sprint users?

no way to really determine that... with radios it seems that your location matters more than your carrier. this thread has a list of what radios have been working well in 51 different cities, but it hasnt been updated since this new us cellular radio came out.
