Thanks for the script!

Yeah, syncing will just take a bit longer on 1X. After using this fix for a while I really don't notice much difference with texting. But it does help when I know I'll be in a crappy coverage area where my phone will constantly switch between 1X and EVDO. That definitely drains my battery in no time.
