Hey guys. here is my short term experience with the radios. Went through the newest radios from each of the providers listed.

Telus. Great signal in my house. Voice call sounded clearer than stock sprint. My biggest issue has been with listening to sx2 radio and getting texts with my original radio and this radio did the same thing though not as often. My issue is when listening to sx2 and I get a text it goes out of evdo to 1x and won't go back to evdo until i actually stop the stream of music and wait for it to go back to evdo...very annoying.

US cellular. Worse for me in all categories. I am in north houston, your results will vary.

Verizon. Signal is interestingly 1-2 bars less but the voice signal is the clearest. Gps aquisition is almost instant in my house where sprint would take over 2 minutes to lock. The best part is that when listening to sx2 it rarely goes to 1x when I get a text message and that is awesome. I have no idea on battery life but I presuming all this goody goodness with a weaker signal is going to result in some major battery drain. Will report back on battery in a couple of days. I also might put telus on my wifes TP2 to compare the two. Yes we're gay like that, we also dress alike and drive the same brand of cars.

Again as anyone will say on this forum these results are very subjective so don't expect the same on your phone. You need to try them on your own phone in your area to get accurate results...not sure why I wrote this afterall. Oh well

Anyone here from the Orange County, CA area? What's the best radio in your opinion? I tried them all and can't seem to tell the difference. Thanks!

I tried every radio and have the same 1-2 bar reception in my house. Guess it's just in BFE. Anyone have a suggestion as to which radio will give me the best battery life, since they all get the same reception, or does it make that much of a difference. I've been out around with the Telus and one USC and get full bars with both in town (West Houston).

Anyone have any recommendations for the Chicago, IL? I am brand new to Radio flashing, but am curious. I have horrible sprint coverage in my apartment.

Thanks to all of you that have posted your results so far!

If you dont have good reception in your area you just dont have good reception. It's not necessarily your phone could be tower signal is low in your area.

CW

Need help. I'm new to this, ive done ROM flashing before, not radio.
what are the steps to do the radio flashing?
Do i have to unlock it like with the ROM flashing? or...
I dont want to brick my phone.
I currently have TELUS' 1.92.00WV

I was getting tired of the stock Sprint radio getting stuck in 1X for no good reason...so I'm now trying Verizon 2.23.00WV...I guess when I have a better feel for how it behaves I'll report back.

Does anyone know if certain radio's perform better with regards to staying in EV/3G with different versions of Windows Mobile than others?
