Yeah, but you don't "switch" back and forth between them. They're both always active, but it would be messy and cluttered to have a 1x and evdo meter up there at the same time, so the top bar only shows one at a time- whatever is currently sending or receiving. (If I recall, I think Verizon's feature phones actually show both 1x and Evdo meters... hated that)
So, there is no extra loss of battery or otherwise due to how this works.
