Have the Blackberry Tour and noticed that the phone has a problem holding a signal - even when you are in a strong signal area. If you watch the signal strenght indicator, it keeps fluctuating from 1X to 1XEV and from 1 to 4 bars of signal. Also while in Europe and using international access, this was also the case and I often was unable to answer the phone when I received a call. It would just disconnect. Although while international, I was able to place calls without a problem.

Thanks for the reply.
I heard the storm had the same issues but was fixed with an upgrade. I would think they would have resolved something like this before they released the Tour ! Let's see if they do.
Any word on a software upgrade yet ?

I just posted a thread regarding total inability to get a call made out in Chandler (three days running), even with full 5 bar signal. Verizon's message simply wanted to transfer me to an operator who would accept my credit card so I could make the call????? (I have a nationwide roaming plan).
I do also see the wavy signal - really quite often!!! We all need that OS update immediately!

Doubt its an OS issue. I saw it once made sure I was running 1XEV only and did a *228 option 2 and have not had it since.

I believe it is not your phone but the network. They switched their cell tower frequencies last month to accommodate Altel customers and after having 2 years of problem free signals I have been dropping calls in an area where I never had any problems.
