LG Octane Questions

I've got my LG Octane, and have it activated. Mostly liking it. Have a few questions though. I've read that it runs on the CDMA 800/1900 frequencies as well as EV-DO, Rev A. What exactly does this mean? Is this good? Bad? What kind of speeds can I expect from it (About)?

Also, I have the 75MB data plan for $10 a month. I got into some setting last night (Can't seem to find it now) where it sends out it's GPS location every so often (How do I get back into that? lol). How much data is this using?

I've also tried using Social Beat. Is there anyway to contact Social Beat? Having a problem with their software trying to access Facebook and Twitter. Apparantly they have a character limit of 11 characters when entering your password-my passwords are more than 11 characters, and I don't intend to reduce them (And reduce security).

My last qustion is, under Phone Settings, there's a NAM select, and NAM1 and NAM2 are available. What are these? NAM1 is selected.

Do NOT adjust the NAM1/NAM2 settings. Doing so if you don't know what you're doing will most likely result in something like this:

 

"OK I was messing with my Samsung alias and I accidentally changed it to NAM2 and it reset and when it came back on it ask for a me to enter lock number but my lock number will not work."

 

 

In other words, the phone will now be in a status where it now can not be used to place a call until it receives a several digit long lock number.

 

 

As far as what NAM1/NAM2 do ... This is what I found through a google search; I don't know how accurate the information is

"The NAM1 and NAM2 can be used to program two different numbers into the phone, but Verizon doesn't support this feature."

Oh jeez, now you've opened up a can of worms. People will be threatening to leave Verizon(and take every one they know) because Verizon doesn't support this feature. Let the whinning begin.
