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.
Thanks for that information! This doesn't make much sense because mine is backwards then.

My 1X RSSI is -96dB right now and my HDR RSSI is -88dB. Shouldn't that be the other way around? If the HDR has a better signal, wouldn't the 1X be the same as that?

Aren't all of the EVDO cell sites equipped with 1X for voice/data as well?
