This is not a thread to complain about signal strength because in the 5 days I have had my D2 it has been great. In fact much better and steadier than the BB that I gave up. My question surrounds the dbms shown in settings-about phone. I am used to bb showing a range of -80 to -110 but with this phone I have seen as low as -74 and nothing out of the- 80s. Is this the norm, which would mean the droid is kicking the bbs hind parts in maintaining a steady signal or are the numbers simply relative and no comparison can be made between the two? I always thought that cdma never displayed anything less than -80 dbms
