I must be typing this out wrong. Of course there is no comparison between the en v and the x. At my home, I get poor 3g inside. When I used the en v, I could connect well enough on the cruddy 3g to browse forums and even watch you tube videos. The X will sit and spend the entire time loading and switching between 1x and 3g and never actually load the page. So my theory is that it is trying to use the best signal possible and since my 3g seems to fluctuate, it just hangs switching back and forth from 1x to 3g instead of just picking one and doing the best it can.
I thought if there was a setting I could lock it into 1x at least to view forums.
ATT fixed my internet, I'm back on wifi so its no longer an issue but I'm still curious if its possible.
Btw, I had good luck with my en v, except the antenna and touch screen sucked.
