I have mine changed to -B and it connects to my Airvana (Airrave2). Every once in a while I get a robot messed up call, but no issues otherwise, and not sure if it was like that before.

Sprint said that shouldn't have anything to do with it, but, not sure I believe that..I am trying to find out if anyone here has an EVO, and they connect to their Airave using EVRC-B or C.

Thanks!

[wase4711]

well, mine has been working fine since the second day I got it, so I am afraid to mess with success!
I keep telling myself to learn to leave well enough alone...

[marctronixx]

awww wase, live on the edge!!!!! (cue evil laff....)

[wase4711]

well, I do live on the bleeding edge; thats why I am always screwing my stuff up!

I guess the good thing is that you HAVE to learn how to fix things when you mess them up, so its sort of a "forced" education!
