reception question (may be dumb)

[ommpahlummpah]

Heya guys, names jason and im a No0B, but i just got the ppc 6700 with alltel got the phone from ebay, loving it so far. i had a quick question i done searches and stuff for my problem and still cannot figure it out.

i am a Moto guy and i know the reception was set cannot mess with how much or little it gets on bars.. well i got this phone and the reception was pretty decent and i got it activated and i get 1 to 2 bars at my house, as where my moto e815 and v710 get almost full.

so main question i have is there any kinda of wierd loop hole to get software updates (rom's i belive??) to fix this or should i send it back and get a new one, OR is this normal ??

thanks for any kinda help loving all the info i am gettin and continuing to look up stuff all day long haha ..
