I dont have a iphone, but many phones use a smoothed Ec/N0 for a more accurate strength indicator. The downside is that Ec/N0 can vary highly over time. (Similarly, iDEN uses signal quality, SQE, instead of RSSI for its bars) It’s not fixing, on a CDMA system, RSSI is not as important as Ec/N0, such to the point as Ec/N0 is used for cell selection in (W)CDMA vs RSSI on GSM.

It's all explained and shown in pictures at the link below.

It just looks like lower numbers which is how I think about it. But as I said you are right :) I will post a list of the shortcuts soon remind me if I dont You are 100% right since they are negative numbers.

Those of us who are mathematically inclined will see that -77 is a HIGHER number -102. By the way, can anyone point me to a resource listing all of those nifty shortcuts like Alt+NMLL, and the View Source shortcut, etc?
