Have you tried to reset the data plan?
When you say "No EVDO", do you mean no data connection at all?
Have you checked: Phone/Menu/Options/Services/Mode of Operation/Get Settings/Hybird (Radio Dial).

When the data plan gets reset by VZW, It can take a little while to show up.
Do you get a data connection at all (with 1X)?
What do you mean by "No EVDO" (Are you in an EVDO area)?

am unable to connect to a data line at all. 1x and evdo require password I presume and system refuses to retain it ...so no data connection only voice... like I said ..expensive phone...

Start/Settings/Connections/Connections.
What do you see?
Click "Advanced" Tab (at the bottom),
Click "Select Networks".
The top Dropdown should say "Verizon Wireless".

oh and yes I am in an evdo area.. even though vzw's service in the SF bay area sucks..

ok having played with these since installed dcd verizon carrier cab. now have ips showing verizon wireless or data network cannot persuade either to retain a passoword. is there perhaps a setting that I might change with QPST?
