Signal strength of inspire VS a blackberry cell radio

---

im coming from a blackberry which has a great cell radio. how are HTC's cell radios as far as a good signal?

I don't have a Blackberry to compare it to, but it's getting about the same signal as my Captivate (+/- 1dBm variation)

So it's pretty bad.....?

I just came from the 9700 and its a noticeable difference by usually one or two bars. I've never lost service totally on the inspire though. Not a huge difference for me. It's a Hell of a phone otherwise

The bars are calculated differently in every different manufacturers phone anyway. Not a good comparison. Only dBm is a valid comparison metric.

Oh I see. My fault. I have a BB at work I can post the results back tomorrow afternoon.

Yea, my Captivate was showing 4/4 bars @ 89dBm while my Inspire showed 2/5 for the same strength

Yes I would really love to see actual db signals from phone comparisons. Especially blackberries. Since that is what I have now....

Getting -83 dBm on my Inspire and -70 dBm on a Blackberry 9800 at my store.
