Default Tour Data Problem
I just activated my Tour yesterday.I love the phone so far, but have a problem that I am debating to return it.When I use the browser like Bolt which was fast and worked great on my Curve is an absolute joke on the Tour.You click a web page and you have to wait forever for it to load.My signal in the house is -110 and about -92 outside.Have not dropped any calls, but the data is a joke.Has anybody had these problems with the Tour?

The BB browser work ok speed-wise? -110 db is pretty crappy signal strength.

With -110 db signal, everything is annoying, isn't it?

The Tour definitely lags. It stutters and holds and definitely takes time to load pages.

I have not dropped any calls, but that is what I noticed first.It takes forever to load pages.It makes me feel like I have taken a step back instead of a step forward in that aspect.Hopefully they will adress this soon.The problem is if you call them they are retards and Im sure will tell you we have not had any complaints about that.

I believe the lower the number the better.Im sure somebody here should be able to say if that is correct or not.

Haven't had any data issues, it's much faster than my Curve. Then again I only use the BB browser

No, the higher the number of better.

"5 bars" is -80'ish

-120'ish would probably be like... 1 bar maybe?
