I'll try that. Loading contacts is a bear in this phone or I haven't figured out the best way to do it yet.

Also, if you are connected via WiFi, that connection will take precedence over the EVDO data so it will not be used. You can tell by looking at the color of the signal bars; if they are gray, the data is inactive, white means it is active.
When I tap my signal icon the bubble gives me options for wireless manager and Settings. In wireless manager I can turn the phone off but not just the data connection, right?
Is there any reason not to just leave the wifi on all the time so as to never use evdo when I have a wifi connection? Kills the batt? security issue?

I don't see files attached to your post....
