Radio 3.41.00 on Telus; is newer better?

Total n00b question probably, but I'm wondering if there's any point in attempting to upgrade the radio on my CDMA Vogue phone?

I've been searching around for hours and can't find much about it for the Vogue. On my Wizard it made a HUGE difference in missed/dropped calls in addition to signal quality, etc.

Thanks in advance!

im using this radio (im on telus) and i think that the signal is improved dramatically. I can make calls in an underground parking lot! but that is only MO

Well, thanks for your input. I'm thinking I wasn't clear. I'm already using 3.41.00 but was looking at some of the other ROMs with newer radios. I still have fairly frequent missed calls and occassional dropped calls. I was thinking of a radio upgrade to try to resolve as I use a non-Telus ROM anyway. Anyone on Telus with a newer radio than 3.41.00 that can share their experience?
Thanks again.

Telus released a new radio for the Diamond about a week ago, and it really improved my reception on the Sprint network. The radio and the rom are not tied together....they can be flashed independently.

Thanks, I think... Wouldn't a Diamond radio brick a Vogue?

Hi, my friend have a Bell Touch and I was wondering if it was possible to update it with the new telus radio rom. And does it improve performance (I guess yes).

Also, where can I download it? Only the radio update...

Thanks!
