No RevA here. I'm in one of those "extra" Evdo areas where it actually comes from Alltel instead of Sprint even though you aren't roaming. No change in data speed that I've noticed. Slingbox works just like before...great.
GPS works good. Sometimes it is off by 100-150 yards at times but works good for a phone GPS. Even picks up inside some buildings.
Here's the big kicker for me. With Rom 2.17 and PRL 60610, I can set the phone to Roaming Only and get EVDO service. After I load this ROM and it is still at PRL 60610, when force roaming I only get 1X. Using the ##DEBUG# I can see the phone sometimes pick up Verizon....attach...then it finds the Alltel SID and I'm assume it's preferred so it sticks to Alltel. Still 1X, I can see it hit channel 73 which is the EVDO channel and passes right on by. So basically when I go back to work next week I'll have 1X only instead of EVDO in the building since Sprint's signal stops at the door of the building. I'll definitely be bringing the older ROM to reflash so I can get EVDO back up.
So fix the roaming issues in the radio and it'll be great!
