Re: EVDO Rev a

There are 3 general speeds for 3g(CDMA)

1x standard low speed around 115kbp/s

EVDO Rev 0 Regular 3G speeds 300-700kbp/s depending on congestion and signal

EVDO Rev A The newest addition 700-1700lbp/s Depending on congestion and signal

these are ball park figures not exact but some users have posted worse and some have posted better results.

For Rev A you have to have capable hardware in your phone to receive the additional speed. The Touch Pro does have such hardware.

Most stock carrier roms will show the diff with a diff icon but the chefs sometimes break the code needed for it to work properly due to custom icons and mods to the taskbar an SYS.

Alltell has a rA to show Rev A EVDO and EV for Regular speed EVDO and 1x is the generic icon for low speed internet.

I have sprint and ditched the stock rom the day I got my Touch Pro so I have never seen a custom rom that I have flashed or cooked up properly show the rA or equiv on Sprint.
