When I upgraded from an old 1x-only phone to a 1xEVDO phone, I noticed that you can use your phone has a modem for connecting to Verizon's high-speed data service. It has worked fine since day one, never had any problems with it. On various trips back and forth from Houston to Dallas, I have always had a constant internet connection to stream my favorite satellite radio from my home PC to my phone or laptop.
EVDO Rev.A and (I think) Rev.B are available in many smartphones and PC data cards
Of course, it is not fast enough to be considered broadband anymore, but it is still good for the price I paid and for a almost-anywhere connection
Only downside is that since my phone is not a smartphone (or a PC Data USB/Card), it has the older EVDO Rev.0. The latency ranges from 150-200, and I get speeds of:
UPDATE:
I have recently upgraded my phone to the LG Dare, which features EVDO Rev. A
My new speed test is at the bottom of the page.
