When runnnig the WAP browser from a V60s, does it connect using 1X
(Express Network) or the standard 14.4/QNC connection found on earlier
V60 series phones.

Would appreciate any insights v60s users may have.

Thanks,

-Sheldon

It's a 1X phone. Whether the browser connects 1X or 14.4 or at some
other speed with Verizon, I have no idea.

In my area (NC) you connect at the slower speed using WAP regardless
of whether you have a 1x phone.

It depends on two things:

(1) a 1X-capble phone; and
(2) NA (MOU or otherwise) being enabled on your account.

My T730 shows the circuit-switched icon for WAP (D-in-box + rectangle
made out of arrows), vs. the packet-switched icon for GetItNow (replacing
D-in-box by a tiny box with arrows pointing up/right). I believe the
v60s uses the same icons.

I have National Access. I *think* that circuit-switched implies QNC,
and packet-switched implies 1x data.
