If you have poor service (it seems 3/7 bars or worse qualifies as poor), you may miss calls anyway. I am actively searching for a solution, only way seems to be an airave but that definitely isn't portable.
Well, I have spent the last two weekends out of town, in San Diego, and in Raleigh NC both of which have EVDO. And during these trips I would be using the web, or streaming a video and it would stop for a call, even when there was only 1 bar. Also I regularly travel to Phoenix and have had the same experience. The reason I am blaming 1x is due to the fact that even when you have EVDO your phone will show 1x when you are on a call or are sending/receiving a text. This just tells me that all phone calls go through the 1x side so if it is plugged with data it can't get through.
