What does EV mean?

My phone display shows a red EV box next to the signal strength bars. My husband has the exact same phone and his doesn't have this. I manually went through every screen and every option on our phones is the same....EVERY option.

EV or EVDO is a high speed internet technology over cdma(Sprint, Verizon) networks, 1x is internet at 1/10 the speed of evdo. It varies from one to the other since EVDO is not always available in as many areas as 1x.

I know that two same phones even with same colors do show a bit variety. Sometimes functions are a bit changed and some times their shapes. Unless it does not harm. Go with it!
