Call tech support and try and get them to send a network tech out to test area towers.

You could even try posting over at www.buzzaboutwireless.com (Sprint-owned forums). I was having an issue where all calls would drop and no calls could come in or out at a specific intersection near my office. I reported it on the web site and got a PM from someone that worked for Sprint in Phoenix. He sent a tech out and they discovered that there was a problem with the configuration of a tower. They fixed the problem and now my phone works fine there.

I have heard of times where Sprint will actually alter the panels on a tower in an effort to get better coverage out of a tower, and the resulting effect can sometimes be degraded service in an area where it was once fine in order to provide better service to an area Sprint deemed more "worthy." In this case, nothing would be wrong with the network or with your device, you would just be a victim of bad luck.
