I read the BS this morning/last night and i knew there was something about the current qualcomm chip that didnt allow it so i dug it up a little while and since this post is here its a perfect place to put it
Thank you to Civic once again this should clear it up as far as i am concerned
Now i also have look the the chipset in good detail and saw that there doesnt seem to be anything supporting 700 mhz either. So again this would be dealbreaker i think. This part i am not totally sure about because i didnt study these chips in vast detail. Obviously the phones would work on the new network in some way just like older non 3g phones do currently.
So take it for what you want. To me, yes the storm will operate on the network, whether it be a service book provsioning issue i highly doubt it.09-13-09 07:46 PM - I think some of you are confusing the 3G simbol that you're seeing instead of 1XEV. One of two things is happening. It's either a bug or those of you without a brain out there have driven RIM to change 1XEV to read as 3G because apparently you're been so brainwashed that unless you see it say 3G, you don't think you're on EVDO Rev.0 or Rev.A speeds.
Take your pick.09-13-09 08:08 PM - Agree with Civic on this one, all the non cb pre noobs don't know what 1XEVmeans, so they are making it stupid proof with the 3GI think some of you are confusing the 3G simbol that you're seeing instead of 1XEV.

They are America's most reliable 3G network after all.
Customer: "Hey what does this 1XEV mean? Isn't it supposed to be 3G??"
Salesrep: "Yes sir it is 3G"
Customer: "I don't believe it, its not 3G!"
Salesrep: Puts gun in mouth

Just take a listen to the average guy on the street talk about it. As you stated, people don't know what 1XEV is unless you read the manual. Very few do that anymore.I think some of you are confusing the 3G simbol that you're seeing instead of 1XEV. One of two things is happening.

09-13-09 09:48 PM - im just kind of shocked that for the past couple of days in various threads that this convo has gone the way it has. the main basis for all of this was people not wanting to understand that a symbol was changed ,thats it. whats so hard to understand there? ive seen various people try to explain it over and over but it didnt seem like it was sinking in. again how people dont get this i dont know. then the post about hspdma or whatever it is appears. i dont know any of that stuff so i cant and wont get into that stuff. more or less its been shot down. Patches i believe said some stuff about it and now i see civic has done the same. (have no clue what civic said but sounded good
) all that is trying to be explained to everyone is that IT WAS JUST A SYMBOL CHANGE. THATS IT. 09-14-09 12:33 PM - Now that is freakin hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!! (im stealing the pic, too good to pass up) lolVerizon should just take a line from the movie "back to the future" and starting telling people that their new network is powered by a "flux capacitor" and that when you "hit 88 mph, you're gonna see some serious sh1t!"
