It's pre-release, so they could change their minds, but traditionally the Samsung model numbers are SCH for GSM/GPRS and SPH for CDMA/1xRTT...

I think that they circumvented Verizon's billing system by giving you laptop data at PDA prices by installing a copy of W-Modem and including a one page instructions how to setup a DUN on your notebook.

For those who have tried autostep, does it affect battery life a lot? Is the speed difference noticeable running @ maximum? Thanks

xv6600 CPU Overclocking? 600MHz? scam?
***EDIT: I now see this topic has already been covered -- and a while ago --
[Looks like some scaling app like PHM or SDSoft's is used to scale the proc speed up. The only new information I (may) have added is how he's claiming 2000kbps EV-DO. I believe it's a little embedded linux wifi router with two PCMCIA slots with two EV-DO cards]
Robert Kim at evdo-coverage.com is:
A. A creative marketer?
- or -
B. A scam artist?
The guy is selling a "supercharged" version of the xv6600 with:
o 2000kbps EV-DO via bluetooth (interesting since BT caps at
721kpbs asymmetric and 432.6 symmetric).
o A 600MHz processor. Huh?
o 384MB RAM (aka a 256MB SD card)
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but his site seems deliberately misleading. I can see through most of the hype on his "supercharged" 800% more power XV6600, but I'd sure like to know how he's claiming to boost the processor speed.
I have to figure his "optional" turbocharged EV-DO involves using a WiFi->EV-DO gateway with two bonded ev-do AirCards. I've seen his antennas before too -- totally hilarious -- he's just selling 2.4GHz wifi antennas with pretty stickers on them for about 3-4x the street price. Any gain an antenna designed for 2.4GHz has at ~850MHz [EV-DO] is likely minimal.
Anyone have any ideas on how he's claiming to up the processor speed?

Pixie dust and sweet dreams, maybe?

No, it's real. Both SDSoft and Anton Tomov (and potentially others) have apps that allow you to change the processor speed on the 6600:
SuperDave's: http://www.sdsoft.net/xdaiii/xda.asp
Anton Tomov: Google "Pocket Hack Master" -- he's re-doing his site.
Anyone with war stories on how either of these apps work in either extending battery life and/or increasing responsiveness would be most appreciated.
[edit: obviously higher speed means less battery life and vice-versa -- I'm not asking how it works, just how well]

But raising the clock that much makes it useless as a phone or BT link. The battery would die quicker than a mouse at a cat show...

I use this xCPUScaler software and have it fixed at 530MHz with no ill effects. Battery may drain a bit faster but I am never far from a socket and it definately runs faster. I bet it could be pushed to 600MHz. Have not tried the others. Thisworked on my old G1000 where it was essential.

I agree; the older CPUs need to be overclocked. But those of us who get a PPC for a 'wireless' connection would prefer to be able to move away from an outlet.
600 Megacycles on the 660X is sweet and all, but that's just going to be too much of a burden on the standard battery to be useful to me. It's bad enough having to leave my device on the charger nearly an hour after every three online, if I drive the drain that much, it'll be plugged in half the day. I can't have that.
Now, if you underclock it to about 375-400MHz, that might help.
