No, it's different than "Roaming" settings.

There is another setting called "Mode of Operation".
When you select "Get Settings..."
You get:
* Hybrid
* EVDO only
* 1X only

It forces the phone into 1xRTT only (no EVDO) or EVDO only (no 1xRTT data). With Hybrid being the standard operating mode. It's important expecially for people that live on the fringes of EVDO reception, as their phone will often switch back and forth constantly draining the battery excessively.
