I see this as a feature of the new 7130. What does it do for me?

I think it stands fo' EVolution, Data Only. Basically its jus' high speed data, like havin' broadband on your cell phone.

You are correct sir! EVDO is the high speed data but for download only.

from my sources they say the upload speeds are much slower than download. Maybe it's changed recently, but that was what I was told.

I think that's somewhat true, but I hear EVDO Rev A is s'posed to change that.

Yes, rev a or b, not really sure which, but that will be the replacement for the EVDO when it's ready. I wasn't saying you couldn't upload on the EVDO, just that it wasn't as fast as the download speeds. Originally the EVDO was supposed to be upgraded to the EVDV network, but rev A tested well so they're just working on improving that apparently. Boy is it slow in the mall today. BORING!

Evolution Data Only is capable of 400-700 kbps. From my personal experience, upload speeds have been around 60 Kbps. In layman's terms, I would compare its speed to that of DSL.
