I know there are other variables to consider in signal strength and where you are is of course going to influence your signal.

I just want a GENERAL/BROAD idea of what signal strength everyone is currently running at. Maybe something like

-89dBm/Verizon/NE Ohio


There are a couple ways to check of course:

Alt +NMLL will change your "bars" display to a numeric display (and then back again with Alt + NMLL). I find it difficult to read due to the generic theme font I have.

Elsewise, OPTIONS > STATUS.


YOU KNOW YOUR CURIOUS! Post away.

-110dBm/Verizon/Gulfport, MS
sluggish downloads at times as well as dropped calls - was told by Verizon that I reside in an area where there is a "hole" in tower coverage. BTW - I originally went with the Curve because reception was supposed to be better than the other models - got no reception at all with 2 phones and finally demanded to try another phone. Happy with my Storm regardless of this issue for now.

Closer to 0 the better. -60 is by far better than -80

[danoh]

Yes, higher the better.

NO! lower the better the closer you are to 0 the better it is

No... Higher the better. -80 is better than -100 and -80 is higher then -100 ... Wow.

lol, someone had a little trouble in math class? Just remember, you flip things around when you're dealing with negatives. -80 is HIGHER than -100!

As for me, Verizon rocks in my town.
