Better signal AND bettery battery life?

/skeptism

Other than that, it sounds mighty good! Not that I'm going to be visiting North America anytime soon

I learned a long time ago that being sceptical of the devs there is not worth it (and I am sceptical of just about everything) - if they make claims that aren't true they soon get ripped to shreds. If they last it is because they are good. Very good.

Just my opinion.

Ditto - if you don't know what you're doing, you soon get flamed on XDA-devs! - some seriously knowledgeable people on that site and I don't think i'd ever have got the most from my PDA's if it was'nt for them!

Anyone updated to this? Is it recommend if I'm in the UK?(maybe a stupid question!)

I fancy using it if it really improves signal and battery life. I have a annoying signal issue at work where my phone never manages to stay on any one type of data connection for long.

I did it. I was using radio 1.00.25.03 and moved to 1.00.25.05. There are some improvements in the audio quality during the call, the signal is better and I have a good data (HSDPA, 3G, etc) connection. I cannot confirm anything for UK since I live in a different country. For the battery life...is difficult to say. I keep the phone most of the time either connected with the USB cable or the car charger so it is fully charged almost all the time. If WI-FI is used, it'll drain the battery fast, but if you disable 3G (when not needed), WI-FI, Beam support and set short display timeout (10 sec to dim, 40 sec for sleep), it will be much better. Also GPS is power hungry so I use it mostly when connected to car charger.
