I'm on a 7290, cingular is my carrier and I've got the latest software updates running. My question is this: is the numeric value of signal strength inversely proportional to the number of signal bars visible? If I do the alt+NMLL sequence on the home screen and the signal strength is near or more than 100, why is only one bar visible? I would assume that the higher the number is, the more bars would be visible. It may be helpful to note that I've got the "smoothie" theme loaded...

Thanks!
