3/10 is being optimistic. And I wouldn't say only fanboys are concerned about what they have: I'd like to think Lifehackers such as ourselves care more than the average Joe, but not as much bias as the fanboys.

Since you won't be getting any reception anyway, the radios work extra hard to try to pick up reception and waste battery life doing so.
