Driving between dead zones of opposite carriers is surprisingly difficult to do - would have been a great test, though!

I did test walking down the street away from Wi-Fi - the transition is much smoother, but I was only able to get it down to about 2 seconds or so. And that was when I turned around and ran back toward Wi-Fi when it started to switch, so that the call remained good on Wi-Fi until it actually cut over.

Yeah, finding the right dead zones would be pretty hard. Especially if you are somewhere with relatively good signal. Would be a very interested in the results.

Disappointed with that 2 seconds though. I was really hoping for smoother. Though I guess that is why they are still invite only. They are still working on the technology. I was leaning towards getting Fi when the new Nexus comes out, but this makes me think it might not be ready yet.

Thanks for all the info.
