I know I have been hearing that as well.. It did get pushed back a couple of times. But I have talked our corporate DATA guy and he said it will be here...

well I have to give CMK a call this evening...

I was in Fargo at about 7pm and my phone kept switching between the usual 1x and EV....

maybe it's closer than expected?

[torbs]

Yeah, thats odd. I don't think my RAZR or E815 has gone to EVDO yet.

[dubbsy]

so, is my phone just a freak?

I've been getting EV in Fargo most of the time now, but I also have managed to switch to EV back home where a year ago I hardly got any reception.

[MisterCMK]

I think it is. I have not gotten EVDO at all in either of my phones.

well that's what I was told at Cell Comm today.. sometime in October. 'Supposedly' they've been testing things and that's why I see EV sometimes (and the Razr2 I was looking at was bouncing between EV and 1x).

If so, I'm going to be half tempted to look at a smart phone of some sort instead...

[DWeigs]

EV-DO will be here in October/November sometime....

[RidinRails]

alltel/sprint have had evdo for over a year now....

verizon just sucks

if your still looking for internet service in the DL area....just go to alltel and get a air card...it about the same speed as DSL and works anywhere your cell phone works.. ...cost $60 a month though.

[DWeigs]

I think its officially here!! I have had Ev-do since about 11 o clock or so today!!!

[integra_gsr98]

EVDO went live in Fargo today for sure. I noticed that right before lunch today.

Did a speed test and got 750k/sec down to my phone.

[dubbsy]

live permanently or temporarily.

I noticed I had it temporarily here (but I don't expect to get it all the time out here) the same I've had it for the last couple weeks.
