Yes people blame the AT&T for poor call quality on the iPhone, but some indepenant test have proven that the phone is also part of the problem.
So while moving to a more reliable* network, will make the phone more reliable but it will still have issues.
* I'm not implying Verizion has better coverage than AT&T, my experience is the opposite. What I saying is there was a study as to why the iPhone had so many dropped calls in larger cities like San Fransisco and New York. It ends up the cause of the problem is GSM vs CDMA and how the technology slices cell tower access. It seems CDMA is better suited for high traffic. The crackberry site has written to good blogs on this but I can't find them here is a link to a post (
CDMA vs GSM)
