this is a typical situation/setup for verizon NEW phones
the sammy is a little different than LG but not much, it took about 30 minutes for the whole setup

install the phone driver software
make dialup connection setup in windows ( internet connections )
choosing the Samsung modem
i posted all this to show you, the 1x connection is still a live an well even with BRAND new phones, this phone is 4 days OLD
NO it didn't take me 4 days to figure it out, i just got around to switching over from the LG vx9900, and likely I will go back to that phone because it is my favorite phone
and yes i'm a gadget freak
my Son will probably end up with this phone because the DW loves her LG vx8100
