You can force EVDO-only on most kitchen builds... it depends on which one though and I can't quite remember the setting right now.

Its under Start/Phone/Menu/Options then the Services tab. Look through the different options... one of them has an option to force EVDO... but be aware that if you force EVDO, you can not make or receive calls or text message... so its internet only.

The Mogul actually gets locked in 1X mode a LOT if you are downloading something and receive a text message... I used this feature frequently before I got my air card.
I think Sprint does do OTA PRL. It isn't using the *228 option though. I am almost positive you can call in and have your phone flagged for PRL, I used to do this with my Treo 650 and I got a couple 6700s replaced because they wouldn't PRL update and everytime I called I had to sit through the call and wait on it to try.
