Re: Radios and Best Locations(38 Cities Listed!!!)

how is the telus radio for battery life? Does it drain more less than the original diamond radio? Im thinking of switching but want to make sure that my battery will last just as long, if not longer. Also, is there any con at all to changing radios (other than like signal strength/battery life?) I have an everything plan from sprint, and i'm in pittsburgh!

Re: Radios and Best Locations(40 Cities Listed!!!)

The Telus 1.04.05v Radio seems to be the best performer here in Las Vegas, Nevada...I'm going to do more tests to confirm...

Telus seems to be best in Indianapolis, IN and southeast Indiana between Indy and Cincinnati.

Re: Radios and Best Locations(40 Cities Listed!!!)

Chicago, IL - Telus 1.04.05v

Tested each of the Sprint radios and had the same issue with all of them (could not receive incoming calls, text messages were hours or days late, no reception).

Tried the telus radio and everything works! I was ready to dump this phone but decided to give the telus radio a try. Very pleased.

Re: Radios and Best Locations(40 Cities Listed!!!)

Telus was horrible for me in MIami. Also the new sprint one was the worst of all. Trying the VZW one right now. Seems to be working fiine. The other two got the phone exremely hot. To the point where i was like wtf is this ****
