I wish I could say with 100% confidence that this is due to Verizon's acquisition of Alltel and using their towers instead of renting the use of Sprint's towers where the Verizon towers were weak. I noticed when they took over Alltel is when my phone also went into 1x and started having problems with GPS locks. It really sux because the one reason I had VZW was their great coverage, but now it is getting ridiculous how often their signals are dropping. I am tempted to jump ship.
