Gol-dang it, HarryT, you done made me have to look the fool thing up!
Unfortunately, the
wikipedia explanation doesn't completely clarify it:

Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only, abbreviated as EV-DO or EVDO and often EV, is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access. It uses multiplexing techniques such as Code division multiple access (CDMA) as well as Frequency division duplex (FDD) to maximize the amount of data transmitted. It is standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards and has been adopted by many mobile phone service providers around the world – particularly those previously employing CDMA networks, as opposed to GSM networks.

So, I'm interpreting here that it
is CDMA, and may
also be considered 3G.
So. I guess my final response on the matter is on the order of: never mind, apparently I have even less idea what I'm talking about than I
though I did.
