I'm in the Tulsa,OK area. The two Sprint radios had similar results, but in the building I work at I was having slow data connections.
I flashed the Telus radio and the data speeds are noticably better!

Nevermind I found out How by searching this forum .

Anyone know what is best radio for SW Va. ? I switched from Sprint to Telus and have noticed better signal/battery life . I was thinking of trying the Verizon radio but would like to know before I try this one because this one will perform a hard reset. Any Ideas ?

i just started testing the radios today.
im in the 23456 zip code and the verizon radio gave me one bar more than all the others.
and all radio roms on the radio thread's first page DO NOT do a hard reset.

So how do I know which Radio's perform a hard reset and which don't?

Any suggestions for the Minneapolis area?

I tried the Altell one, but in bad signal areas my diamond heated up way too much. Now I'm trying the Telus one.

EDIT: so far the Telus 1.04.05 is working very very well with Groove Rom 5 (wm6.5). Zero heating up in bad signal areas.

Have you found the Telus radio any better/worse. I'm back on Sprint 1.11 after flashing Shipped and a new ROM. Wondering if the Verizon radio is worth trying out.
