Anyone with sprint in the LA area have any info on these radios? Been trying some out, most seem to perform the same, wanna know if anyones been testing any of them extensively.

Dumb question, but do these new radios perform any better than the stock? I realize they allow you to connect to US GSM networks. Are the US GSM networks faster than CDMA? I'm on Verizon in Greenville, SC btw.

hey mayonesa, I had read from other threads that the GPS settings will drain your battery, so that might have something to do with the radio, dunno.

I for one am having problems with battery drain when the GPS goes wacky. I am using iGo8, apparently, any gps program that uses the com port like iGo8 will drain the battery. These Nav programs that use the com port are having problems with GPS lag. Google Maps on the other hand doesn't use the com port, and won't drain your battery, or have GPS lag. you can read about that in other threads.

thanks for the info

i went back to the USC. i dont use any GPS apps really... just for the weather i guess when i manually update it but other than that nothing else.

for now i guess i will stay with this radio till something else comes out.

ive had good luck with the vzw 1.88.07 radio in the new york area. tried the USC radio but got a bit better reception with the vzw radio

Hey guys, I have the USC radio. Will VZW work on my phone? I am using FIDO GSM part on my TELUS CDMA TP2

I tried the WU and it bricked my phone. So it seems WV only works on it.

So will VZW work on my phone? as I am reading through the posts, it seems 1.88.07 is the best out there now?
