But the case with both providers, is that they only modify their PRL so that customers on smartphones, PDA's, and Wireless PC Cards are able to EVDO roam between networks.

Hi,
I recently took a week long camping trip to various parts of TN. For the first part of the week I was in Townsend, TN very near to Smoky Mountains National Park. At the campgrounds I had very spotty "1X" service of about zero or one bar, but that is to be expected.

Hi,
I have a general question on EVDO roaming too.
If my device is originally camped on 1xRTT and I am browsing web while driving and now when the device sees EVDO, does it automatically switch to EVDO for any ongoing data connection?
Thanks,
Salai.
