Verizon starting to piss me off.

The TP1 had the same issues with the cell signal being poor. Tbh, I don't notice any more/less battery while having 0 or 1 bars vs 4 or 5. May just be the phone isn't reporting right (I get full EVDO speeds with 0 bars, same with 5).

I am seeing just the opposite. Former device is a Samsung i770 Saga. Virtually no signal in my house, jumping between 0 and 2 bars, could literally see myself jumping from tower to tower every few seconds in Google Maps, impossible to send or receive calls or texts. With my TP2, I have a consistent 2 bars of signal and no problems with calls or texts. This seems to be a real YMMV scenario.

I'm not seeing that as well. The phone seems similar or better than other Verizon phones I'm near. But in the SF Bay Area, Verizon coverage is excellent so maybe it's not a good way to judge it. Plus, I'm coming from an XV6800.

Do you guys remember when Verizon used to say that it took longer for them to release phones because they have a rigorous testing process, to ensure their phones performed well on their network? Between what's being reported in this thread and this thread, it sounds like they are skipping that part of the release process now.

I'm having the same problem. Service jumps from 0-2-3 bars. I drop calls where my old phone worked fine. Wait 2 seconds and the phone works again.
