If I use it it's usually for a set purpose, like "oh, I need to check my bank account" or whatever. So then it's no big deal to switch to EVDO, then back again. I guess if you use the internet a lot this can be a pain in the arse.

Yeah it's definitely a pain but I guess I'll just switch to EVDO when necessary and leave it on 1x the rest of the time to try and save some battery. About 100 texts a day are a real battery killer...

Thanks for the solution though intx.
