Yeah, I see what you are saying. I think you both would be OK but like I said, I have seen wierd things happen. Worse case scenario is you would have to reprogram epst settings after radio upgrade. Thats worse case. best case, no issues upgrading.

I cant be 100% certain as I have not ever placed a phone on another carrier like that.

Your corerct, you can use any carrier radio with like technology. So a Verizon user could use the latest sprint radio and US Cellular user could use the latest Verizon Radio.

Just thought I would chime in and say the most important thing to remember when flashing a radio is whether the radio you are flashing is for a CDMA device if you have a CDMA Worldphone TP2 like the Sprint or Verizon branded models. You never want to attempt to flash a GSM type radio to those devices like a T-Mobile or AT&T radio or attempt to flash a Sprint or Verizon radio to a GSM TP2 like an AT&T or T-Mobile branded version.

do not flash a tmobile (gsm) radio on your phone, if your phone supports cdma (your phone obviously does have the cdma part if it's on a cdma network...)

it would really brick it.

Hence why including a radio in the .nbh of a custom ROM released publicly is a dumb move. All it takes is someone not to read well, and they end up with a paperweight.
