3G > Data Connection

[RonDutt]

There are only two forms of connectivity, 1X and EVDO. In 1X data mode, you should see 1X as the service identifier. There is no dialing required to use Internet aware services in 1X mode. For EVDO, you have to dial #777, if you see EV and you can use the web, you're using EVDO/3G. You are correct, if EVDO is available, it will take priority over 1X, even if the bandwidth is worse than 1X.
