For those who are having reception problems, use fieldtrial to check your RX power right after a call drops or fails to go through. If you're anywhere near 100 dbm you should expect to have problems no matter what handset you're using.
(P.S. And I'm definitely referring to the 1x section of FieldTrial. The HDR section is only for EV-DO towers which have nothing to do with voice calls.

Well I sat down with both phones. I used the 1x section and every ten secs I jotted the numbers down. Yes the numbers do flucuate, but on the whole the 2.2 is showing better numbers than the 3.3. Also, even though bars are not an exact measurement, it should be noted that at no time is the 2.2 less than one bar ahead of the 3.3.
One thing I noticed in the Field Trial is that the "Slot Cycle Index" for the 2.2 phone was 2 and on the 3.3 it was 1. What is Slot Cycle Index? Does it have an effect?
BTW these are verizon 6700's
