Power Vision v. Vision

I thought Power Vision was supposed to be much faster than Vision, but
I find that web access crawls at the same old pace. Sprint customer
service tells me that's how it's supposed to be. Is that true? Does
anyone have experience with this?

Power Vision (EVDO) has better peak performance than the older Vision
service. I recently switched from a Treo 650 to a Treo 700P, going from
Vision to Power Vision. In general, I've found performance to be much
better - 2 to 3 times better. Not always, but most of the time.

Seems like I'm not getting the straight story from Sprint CS. I'm in
the San Francisco Bay area, so they must have EV-DO here. I guess
I'll have to keep bugging them about it.

Power Vision web surfing is much faster than Vision.

After being told by several tech support people over the phone that
there's no difference in speed when web surfing, I submitted a
question to online tech support.

They fixed it.

What phone are you using? The phone must also support power vision
(EVDO capable).

Todd W.

Right. The phone is a Katana DLX (SCP 8500). After being told by two
phone reps and two store reps that it wasn't supposed to be faster, I
contacted eCare and they fixed it.
