I just got my EVDO from Verizon, I was unhappy for the first few weeks, as it kept locking into the slower 1xRTT.

I have a thinkpad T60p with an integrated antenna.

I then downloaded the new access manager http://vzam.net/

specifically for Lenovo. It made a difference, and I also found out that if it says “Broadband Access” That’s EVDO, and if it says connected to “National Access” that’s the slowere 1xRTT..

Yesterday and today, I’ve been cruising at about 700kbps.. not bad. Bummer part of this is my 30 days is about up, so I can’t swap out for the new EVDO-A :(
