Still hard to swallow the fact that I keep reading on here that 1xev is 3g when the device has a setting for either 1xev or 3g... My wife's HTC says 3g so it not the location that's the problem.. When I bought this phone it was the phone that Verizon's web site shows when you hit the "shop for 3g phone" what I'm trying to get to is, if the phone is a 3g phone and has a 3g setting, show the 3g connection.

 

Will be returning this phone...

 

Just needing to vent

!XEV is verizon's 3G technology.  It uses CDMA radio frequencies.  Just b/c it doesnt say "3G" doesnt mean that your not get it.  The Motorola Droid for example runs off of the same CDMA network and it says "3g".  It is bases on the phone what that icon will show up as.  

As far as the icon on the iphone goes,  when it says 3g, they are getting 3g as well, but ATT uses a GSM based radio frequency.

Just for your info.....CDMA is faster....
