How are the new radios?

I went to a place tonight that I used to get no service but tonight I didn't lose data. I only had 1 bar of 3G but it's still better than nothing.
I am certainly glad I flashed the update and am mad at Verizon for not doing something sooner.
 
I love rubbing in the signal strength on this phone compared to her iphone. I make fun of her on a daily basis and always point out when her phone takes a dump at something. Her biggest problem is bluetooth. It just flat out sucks. I can barely hear her 50% of the time. As soon as she disconnects from bluetooth, all is well. But in my apartment, signal isn't very strong. I never have dropped a call, but I get 1 bar at best. So she tried calling her mom from my computer room, and was complaining about how my place is a dead zone. I told her to speak for herself and if she wanted she could use my phone. So she did, connected no problem and was able to complete a full convo with her mom.

*Disclaimer: I've never had a signal issue with my phone. I flashed the new radios/stock update yesterday. I haven't noticed a huge difference between the two 4.0.4 updates, but I did get full bars in Pei Wei tonight with 4G when I usually never get 4G inside buildings here in FL (Hurricane Andrew made any structure built after 1992 a theoretical bunker and 4G rarely gets through anywhere here in South Florida). I think I'm slowly bringing her back over to Android. When she moves in in October may put her over the edge since we don't have home phones.
