I have a queston concerning Rx strength.......can Rx strengths vary from one cell phone of the same model to another? I recently was eligible for an upgrade through Verizon. I orignally chose the new Motorola V750, but was disappointed in the strength of the "vibrating mode" (I keep my phone in my pocket at work) and the overall signal strength. I returned this phone for the LG Chocolate 3 (VX8560). I really like this phone but it seems to have a weak signal strength too. When compared to my wife's LG VX8300, the Rx is 12-15 higher (weaker signal strength). Can/should I go to a Verizon store and check the Rx strengths on a number of Chocolate 3s (not even sure they will let me do that)? Or are the Rx pretty consistent within a model and therefore, I should be looking at another model? Thanks in advance!

I would expect to see very slight differences only. That seems like a big discrepency between the two.
