I live in an area where the evdo is not on yet (bummer), not to mention 4g service. i bought an evo when i finally cracked my treo screen. My wife and I went to a city with evdo and she showed an evdo signal icon on her hero but my evo didn't. Does the evo even show when it is receiving evdo?
 
on the evo its a 3g icon but on the hero it shows evdo....they changed ot from evdo to 3g to make customers less confused i guess
 
i have been told by sprint that the 3G icon does not reflect EVDO service and i know that the evdo service has not been activated in my area but yes, my 3G icon is showing.

hmmmm if it is constantly showing i guess there really isnt a way to know if u have evdo unless you go through the dialer codes which let u see the status of your evdo radio
 
##33248# select evdo engineering and see if anything is connected
or go down to data status and under ip address you will see the network type

As per the manual 3G icon animated (white) means active EVDO. 1x will show up in slower areas just as before and it will not be lit up if there is no connection. I was on the road to a rural area the other day and I noticed I was at 1x. Next time I drive that way I will take a screen shot for y'all
