Signal strength?

I noticed that I am only getting a couple of bars in my house with the 3Gs whereas before with the 3G, I was getting 5. Is the reception worse on the 3Gs or is the meter just more accurate?

I never owned a 3G, and no one has been here with a 3G phone so far as I know. I get a solid 5 bars with my 3GS. The old 2G sometimes was lower, but I suspect that's apples vs. oranges.

We drove quite a bit around our city today and my impression (I was playing with the GPS and watching the screen while my wife drove) is that reception was full scale everywhere. Not surprising: I live in a city in the L.A. basin and there are only minor hills (100 ft max) where we were driving.
