Thumbs up Weak signal??

I'm not sure about the rules for linking to other forums (or at least, I didn't notice any rules about it when I read the rules earlier today), but I thought I'd take a chance and link this anyways. VERY good info in that first post.

My experience so far has been that the signal strength is as good or better than my Epic, so no problems here.

Mine's a bit lower than it was on my Hero. In my house I usually had anywhere from four to full bars, but the most I've seen so far from the 3VO four, but usually three or lower.

Call quality doesn't seem that bad for having a lower signal strength than my Hero did though. A little fuzzy, but clear nonetheless.

i have had spotty coverage around my house since I started with the hero..its I get fair signal using the 3D but I called sprint and I qualified for a free Airave so that will take care of my signal problem.

My signal is worse than my touch pro2, so much that I drop every call in the house. I called customer support and they are sending me the new Airvana for free and no monthly service fee. I should get it next week and this should fix me right up. Of course they first offered it for $179.00 and the $20 monthly fee and I ask them what was needed to return these phones, and they called their supervisor and got approval to waive all fees.

I thought it would be better than the NS4g, but on phone call's it seems to be worse. My wife is out of town for a few days, so will have to wait and directly compare to Evo4
