Decided to surf while in a sorority meeting in Denver today (Saturday). I closed my 7135 for a moment and returned expecting to reestablish a connection. Nope -- already connected and able to bring up uncached web pages. Hmmmm. External ID shows the time and not the minutes clicking away as in my normal QNC connection. Later tried making a call -- successful -- and return to internet. Web pages wouldn't come up. "Disconnected" from PrefsPDA-Network and reconnected -- no problem. No minutes ticking away on the external LED. Closed the 7135 and opened it without having to reestablish a connection.

Other funny things happened. The same text message -- alert -- came in every 10 minutes but no other text messages. The call I made while still connected didn't register in Call History. In fact NONE of my data connection time was recorded in my call history and I was connected for over 2 hours.

Left Denver (returned home). Reset, power on/off and all is well again. Pent up messages came in. Established an internet connection and it returned to "Standard" QNC speeds, LED shows minutes ticking away and when I closed the 7135, the connection terminated. Rats! I changed the network session from QNC in hopes to reestablish a EN connection. Nope. The party was only being held in Denver.

I think I had an EN experience and I like it! I am wonder if people can make free voice calls when in EN or if that was a fluke because EN is not officially turned on in our area. Everyone is right that the speed is not appreciatively different on the 7135 though. It would be GREAT if I got DSL speed as a modem so I'm thinking seriously about signing up once EN is official. When/if I do sign up, I will be careful to read the FAQs and resist the newbie questions without searching the threads.
