Actually the storage card method is quicker and safer.

Radio performance will greatly depend upon the areas within Louisville that you are placing calls/using data. You have two options as to service networks, either use Sprint or roam on Verizon. The latest Sprint radio 1.11 performs quite well as a general purpose radio in the Metro area, and gives decent battery life (that's in my experience, and again, this can vary depending upon signal strength in the areas where you use your phone). The latest Verizon radio works well if you tend to frequently drop Sprint service in your specific area, but I do notice a decrease in battery life (I consistently use MightyRom on my TP and base my conclusions accordingly).

Generally, Sprint service in Louisville suffers greatly when you enter buildings, whereas I can force my Touch Pro to roam on Verizon in those cases and have much stronger signal.

Look into judging your signal based upon ##DEBUG# instead of looking at only the amount of signal bars shown... search through this thread and the forum, it has been discussed thoroughly.

Hope this helps you out some.

I agree! You can easily verify an image once it's copied to the SD card, and from there you don't have to worry about USB communication errors or computer failure during the flash.. much more reliable IMO.

Hi all. I'm a noob too, but I figure i'll actually try the radios instead of asking which is best for my area!

I read the first post, I read somewhere in there how to flash, and I think this thread is perfectly self-sufficient. Thanks for all your posts guys

EDIT: Alright, I just flashed from stock Sprint to the Telus one... I'll let you know how it is for DFW area!
On a side note... it paused a second before loading up the mighty boot screen... my heart skipped a beat. but all is well now

Not just where you are at, but what carrier as well. A good radio for Sprint in Louisville may be bad for Verizon in Louisville. If its a different carrier its different towers (unless you're roaming of course).

Rx EC/Io: -10db
Rx FER: 0.00

That's a signal I'd like to have in most places, myself. Nothing much wrong there. When you start getting into the upper 90s on power and over 25 on EC/Io is when things aren't so great (like in areas of my residence, but the Verizon radio has really helped my reliability).

Thanks...So I probably shouldn't flash to another radio...
