Any word on when we can expect EVDO for AXIM?

I was in my local Verizon Wireless store and I asked the sales Rep about EVDO/Broadband access for my Dell Axim PDA...She looked over her shoulder as if to make sure no one else was in earshot and said probably in January...Has anyone heard anything similar?...I wonder whether it will be a CF card or an SD card or some other similar add-on attachment....

Probably a CF card because they already have one for laptops. There is a hack if you use a PPCPE device from them that turns on the bluetooth modem services but then you'd be carrying two PPC's. I haven't done any speed tests with this method but it does feel faster than t-mobiles buletooth data service.

Well using bluetooth to connect to Verizons SCH i730s bluetooth modem does not give you EVDO speeds. No actual benchmarks for you but I went to the same pages with the Samsung and the X50v but the Samsung was definitely faster so I'm guessing 1X sppeds over bluetooth.
