I use a Hermes device, but my boss recently got a Treo750 for her work phone. The problem is her signal quality is really horrible. My 8525 will always have a stronger signal sitting beside each other. When I updated my radio to version 1.40 it got much better. So is there a way to update the radio on the Treo, or even an updated ROM other than the factory one, that might give her better signal quality, and make it even usable? As it is now, it's not very useable at all.

Thanks!

Really? I had an 8525 and returned it for the Treo 750 and I feel that I get much better RF / Signal on the Treo.

Yup, sitting here right now and my 8525 has 4 bars, the 750 keeps going between 1 and 2 bars....

She can't even use it it's so horrible at her house.

EDIT: I just did a speed test on them both. 8525 hits 220Kpbs while the 750 only had 63Kbps

I'm also wondering if there will be any Radio updates any time soon.

I have the same reception like I've had with the HTC Prophet when I first bought it. I know the battery consumpion is a little higher but it's worth it! ;)
