Samsung SCH-i730

Hi, got my i730 today, it's really a cool little device. I had a Treo 600 previously.

The bluetooth functionality is great, it paired right up with my Range Rover and works well.

I'm located towards the middle of the North shore of Long Island and from what Verizon shows there isn't any EVDO coverage however my data icon keeps cycling through 1x, 1x/EV & EV is this normal or is it picking up a hopefully soon to be live network?

Thanks and everyone enjoy their phones!
