It could be 3.3 w/ specific radio firmwares, or 3.3 on specific revs of the 6700, or carriers, or phases of the moon, or whatever. But it's not a blanket 3.3 issue - not unlinke the disappearing SDCard

Let us know how it goes w/2.2, and if you can post the radio firmware rev, and which carrier you are using.

EVDO active 100% of the time can only happen if something is sending data 100% of the time, or just often enough to keep it alive (which is fairly often, like every minute or so) - that would keep CPU running higher that 100mhz, and keep the radio powered up, and that yields horrible battery life. But something has to be running for that to happen, or your radio firmware is interacting badly with the OS...
I have Verizon - radio 1.10, which looks to me as the latest. I don't think its a blanket issue, perhaps something in the extended rom. I'll test 2.2 without charging for a little bit, take a look at a few things and if successful i will probably re-flash to 3.3 w/o extended to look closer.
