When it comes to dropping calls, I'm king of knowing where the dead zone(s) are with carriers I have or have had. I use the (s) because in NJ, and I've traveled all over this state, there's one zone where verizon always dropped a call. That is just north of exit 8 on the NJ Turnpike. That was there since Verizon first came out. My razor always dropped calls there and so does my blackberry. But now, there are more spots I get dropped calls in. It doesn't happen multiple times a day. But often enough to where I'm posting this. So, it looks like the razor had one dead spot but my 8330 vzw curve has approx 6-10. Seems strange that this phone doesn't wipe the razors **** when it comes to reception, ah well, I can still talk clear across the state from Philadelphia to Long Branch without one dropped call. That's fantastic service imo. Does anyone else who is still conscious after that long post have the same experience?

In my area, which is fairly more rural, there's one spot on a particular highway heading to my college that ALWAYS dropped calls. But I think my Blackberry gets a better signal than my last phone (which was also a Razr), because I don't get dropped calls anymore. I haven't found any other places that drop calls on my 'Berry either.

Teal, my area also, is excellent vzw coverage. Ny, nj. But I noticed more dropped calls than I had on my motorola. I just wonder who else has noticed that.
Also, when it says "call was lost!"
How do we know or how can we find out whose phone's fault that was? (without driving back through that area while talking, of course)

I drop calls frequently, and I know it's my Curve because when I drop a call I immediately try to re-call the person I was on the phone with and it instantly gives a busy signal and the Curve says call failed.
My experience with ATT has been that my BBs have all had *superior* signal strength and far fewer dropped calls than my previous Motorolas or LGs in the same coverage areas. And I'm on the road a lot along the same routes in both rural and urban areas. As always, ymmv.

Jayden, for some reason, my BBs all had better signal strength and fewer dropped calls than my various razrs, including the solid V3xx. Lucky I guess, but no complaints!

Have you thought about updating your roaming list? Dial *228 from your phone and select the option to "update roaming list" which I believe is option #2.
I rarely drop a call in the STL on my Tour, only one spot when you cross one particular bridge over to Illinois or Missouri where every carrier dropps calls, same with whenever I drive into the town I grew up in, every carrier dropps calls at this one particular spot... wierd.
