Verizon support is convinced that the handset must be repaired.
Hmm, I've upgraded to the sprint radio without any problems. I'm even noticing significantly quicker EVDO response (at least compared to my 6700) and GPS works fine.

But I did my slightly differently:

unlocked and updated the boot loader
flashed the latest shipping Sprint ROM
booted sprint without customizations
*22899 which provisioned the phone, but the AKEY was messed up.
Called verizon, got the authentication straightened out.
Flashed a kitchen ROM

everything works just fine. probably wouldn't have needed to do the AKEY step if I'd reflashed into a verizon rom immediately without booting the sprint rom.
