Is this primarily at certain hours of the day (rush hour) or pretty universal throughout? What carrier do you use?

Thanks for your thoughts.

The primary hours the phone is used by my wife and I are between 8 AM and 10 PM. Dropped calls tend to occur more at peak hours between 10 AM and 6 PM - regardless of the tin foil trick. <ggg>

A-1 from Austrian Mobilkom is our local carrier. When roaming, we take what we can get on the road.

RE: Nortel...

I promised I would provide the link once Nortel was run through the 6 criteria for Rule Maker status at The Motley Fool's Rule Maker column today. Here's the link and the explanations why Nortel doesn't meet the criteria:
