BAD RECEPTION ON DROID INCREDIBLE 2

[Kat1476]

I just got the Droid Incredible 2 a month ago and have no signal at my home.  I previously had a BlackBerry 8530 and could send and recieve texts with  no problem - I understand I live in a rural area with poor reception but  I would think I could still receive and send texts with this new phone. I read all the posts about Dinc2 having reception issues as far back as a year.  Why hasn't HTC or Verizon done anything?  Why is Verizon still selling this product if it is crappy.  I have also tried the *228 and that didn't do a thing for my reception. Also checked the battery cover and all prongs are in place.
