Yep. that's not right. Your non-network power level is fine, but something is accessing/keeping your EVDO link up and running, which it should not do - you can only go about 3-4 hours like that

Try this very nice task viewer: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=...7,15027,page=1
You want version 2.7 http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=...le,27,file=228

You'd be looking for somethng odd running all the time (its going to be something running in the background that you can't see with the normal "Running Programs" control panel) - perhaps a pocket msn app (pmsn) - at any rate you should be able to view a process list, and sort by cpu usage, and see which process(es) are using CPU when you turn on EVDO.
Ran that, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of CPU usage when EVDO is on nor anything strange loaded. Its sporadic when my phone uses up more juice, and the battery gets quite warm. But I have a feeling its the phone itself. I had replaced the battery a few weeks ago as it would no longer hold a charge.
I had a similar issue, serious battery drain with nothing running. I went back to 2.2 until something is figured out. I'm suspicious of the EVDO connection staying active instead of going dormant like it should. At least that's my guess.
I'm going back to the Verizon 2.2 to see if the drain still occurs. I'll keep ya updated!
