They work.  I have used the pc5740 evdo card with no problems.  I'm
currently using the v640 express/34 card.  Had to add the card to the
airprime module.
On a 1x CDMA link -- 16KBs, on EVDO 52KBs.
You do have to make a change to the options file in /etc/ppp so that the
call won't be dropped:

connect delay 10000
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65536
