    Since the .230 leak finally got onto my phone, I've had the 3G/BB logos instead of the 1XEV. (I know it's not the same and I'm not complaining) This isn't about asking about it.

    Am I a poser for actually liking the change? It just looks better. Small thing, I know. I think more current customers/new customers understand "3G". Call it branding, call it whatever you want.

    Will this actually stay or will it go back to the regular "1XEV" when 5.0 officially drops?

    It should stay I belive every device Verizon drops from now on is going to say it instead of 1ZEV to eliminate the confusion .... Also there are many threads on this

    Again, I will state that most of the threads I saw were showing confusion and asking why it changed etc. Like people thinking that they lost something when the 1XEV went away.

    Not the case here, I'm just stating an opinion. 3G/BB logo should stay. Makes more sense.

    Did I say I didn't? I know that. Some other people didn't know it, hence the people flipping out when 1XEV vanished.

    It's a welcomed small character change.

    Personally I liked when it was two rows of bars, one for 1X and one for EV.

    I'll be using the "-db" code on my phone so it doesn't matter.

    I agree with you. I've done several OS updates, and when I see a change such as this, I get kinda giddy. Even the start up screen makes me smile.

    I need more hobbies.

    I think it makes things simpler. If you are not terribly technologically inclined, then 1XEVDO makes no sense. It is about time they make a push towards a more consumer oriented device, especially since [IMHO] that is what the Storm was meant to be.

    I'm a big fan of the change as well!!

    Its a small thing, but makes the blackberry look that much cooler with the little logo in the corner, and the 3G as well.

    What is the BB logo there for? Just branding?

    IIRC it only occurs on OS 5.0 releases. I'm not sure what OS you're running...
