under phone and mode of operation. If i use 1x, will i get better battery life? and will my reception be just as good as evdo? I don't care how fast my data connection is, because i don't surf the internet, just text and phone. as long as my reception is just as good

You can switch to 1x if you want. The reception should not change, because the phone automatically switches to 1x when you are using the phone. EVDO is only for data. I am not sure about battery life, but I have heard that switching from evdo to 1x uses more battery than keeping it on one setting. In your case, keeping it on 1x won't hurt anything (unless you like looking at the icon).
