Yea, I have been using the telus radio for a few weeks now. I don't really see much difference in signal. I still get the same signal strength in my house (which isnt very good) and still drop calls in the same areas when I'm driving as I did with the stock radio.
So if I'm in an area all day where I get a 3g connection and full signal strength I'll have better battery life then if I am at home all day where I have 1 or 2 bars and switch between 1X and EV speeds all day?
