Yes, i have the Verizon Incredible

And though it may not force it to 1x, turning off the 3g would probably significantly increase the battery life. Especially if you're on a borderline signal where it hops between 3g and not, as it keeps searching for 3g towers constantly, but if you turn it off it doesn't look for them anymore. Give it a try and see if it increases your battery at all.

Thanks for setting me straight too, jbh
