Yeah. It's definitely a bit strange.

Most of the info that's stuck in the APN settings on a GSM phone actually does show up on CDMA phones as well -- it's just cooked into the rom and not user-accessible.

Sprint has actually switched over to using '3G' instead of 'Ev' on their new phones (I imagine it's easier to use the same terminology as everyone else, for sales purposes).

I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get xdandroid to display Ev instead of 3G (The Vogue port does it just fine). I've looked, and the image files that say EV are in the generic android system. I assume the RIL is just not actually reporting that the connection is EvDO instead of whatever else. But... I don't think anyone really cares that much.

The SIM card stuff... that's just ugly and doesn't have any upside for people on CDMA. But it's a pretty minor annoyance.
