Okay so my aunt came over and she has a sprint htc touch pro on Sprint unlimited plan. I notice hers was running on
EVDO
and mine being on Metropcs shows as 1x. So of course out of Curiosity I lined up both phones side by side and both had two bars. I ran mobilespeedtest.com using 1mb file and guess what...hers running on EVDO averaged 500kbps and mine average 1300kbps running on 1x. I did this multiple times getting same results.
I'm just simply impressed with metropcs.
