I just got a BlackBerry on Verizon and so far the reception has been very poor. Yesterday I was on Caltrain and wasn't able to use data at all and when I got a voice call the sound was horrible. I ended up pulling the battery and that seemed to help so maybe it's the BlackBerry and not the network but so far I'm unimpressed. BTW I work in Santa Clara and live in the city.

I'd put money on it being RIM's fault. Ever since they switched to the "bold" OS I've really lost my taste for the brand. I have a 9000 and have to constantly swap both the SIM and battery to make the thing dial. RIM = Fail. I'm switching to Android.
