and just use the 1xRTT networks for Vision data?

I'll be the fist to bite:
Why ?
-L

I am sure ppl can think of several reasons... One thing that comes to mind is if a user is on a fringe area where the unit may have troubles determining which signal to lock onto ( EDVO or 1xRTT), he may want to just force 1xRTT (same reason behind wanting to force ROAM sometimes).

Umm, you can buy a 6600

jk, I doubt there is unless you hack the registry and it would probably be a pain unless you're always preferring one over the other.

Even in a fridnge area the worst thing that is going to happen is that you will get kicked back to 1xrtt. Probably a matter of miliseconds.

Chalk it up to having the first evdo handset avialable on te network.

Blasphemy!

in case it turns out like on the voice side where the phone goes Sprint, search, roam, search...sprint....etc... all day long. I'd rather just force Digital Roam in these instances. similarly, I'd rather just force 1xRTT vs. having my data svc seem too 'choppy'. Again, don't have the phone ... so just asking.

Nope... what tower you use is dependent upon the towers themselves (i.e. under Sprint's control, not yours).

Actually, I believe this might be programmable under ##pst#, however I'm not certain on that. If you disable the protocol, it should go 1xrtt only I think. Futhermore, you could definitely do this via AT commands, except for the fact that the microsoft AT command emulator doesn't allow all commands that "should" be valid...

Think of it as bursting to higher bandwidth when available.

As it turns out, it is even a more needed option now with the reported issues w/ frindge areas (where EVDO is seemly present but not usable) ...

see thread http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showt...threadid=57739

I have some beerdgs in my frindge area

Todd/Indy

its ##upst and im notsure if thats possible without a registry hack

What are you talking about? That's the code for the bootloader in the treo. It does nothing on the 6700. Or have you altered the registry changing another command to run that command line option instead?

it is dependant upon PRL and the towers. one could take a non ev prl and convert it over to work like elkay did for the 6600. then one would just not put ev info in. that would do it but isn't advisable especially since it is all controlled by sprint to begin with.
