True. Its also possible for a PowerVision phone to hold on to that EVDO signal for as long as possible while still using the control channel of the closer stronger tower to listen in for incoming calls and text massages. The signal strength bar is only going to show you the dbm reading for EVDO unless you are in a 1X only area. To determine if you are in the scenario I explained you can simply go to ##debug# from the phone application. Once in the debug menus compare the signal strength readings under "HDR" and "1X" sections.
