and now it does it no matter what radio I run on my phone... I called alltel and they said its not them,, they wont have rev a in my area till 3rd quarter.. so I called the nice folks over at sprint.. even though im not a customer they were very helpful.. they said that in my case,,, the phone is designed to seek data with the strongest signal and fastest throughput, he said that he was pretty sure they were cycling their rev a in this market, and during those tests my phone would jump from alltel towers to sprint back to alltel, ....

but the thing is,, when im setting at 0 percent signal strength on ev,, I still am able to finish loading pages and whatnot,,,

dont know if this is applicable to others,, depends on what they are doing in your area...
