BlackBerry Curve 8330
Does the Curve for Verizon really have 3G?
I was reading a review on this phone by bkw79
and he mentioned his has 3G.
"I've had this phone for Verizon, since the morning of May 2nd. This size is absolutely perfect. Not as tiny as the pearl, but it's slim and compact, not as bulky as the Blackberry 8800 series, or the Blackjack1 and 2, and or the Motorola Q series, and it still has the best qwerty keyboard out of all of them. Unlike the GSM version, this one has 3G, which has been great so far with tethering. I've tethered for a couple of days now, and it's lightening fast."
I was reading the specs on verizons site and they mentioned nothing about it having 3G.
Can anyone else confirm this?
And what's tethering?

EVDO is the same as 3G, and Im pretty sure EVDO is listed in the specs. It has EVDO highspeed internet.

Yeah EVDO is listed
However I didn't realize that EVDO was the same or the equivalent to 3G.
Thanks

yeah they are the same. 3G is more widely used for GSM carriers, while CDMA carriers typically say EVDO

No, EVDO is not the "same as 3G", 3G is a wireless standard. EVDO is CDMA's 3G, and HSDPA is GSM's 3G. HSPDA is 3G for GSM carriers such as AT&T, Tmobile, and Vodaphone, amongst others. EVDO is 3G for Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, and others.
