Same here in Honolulu, Hawaii. My 3G is choppy at best and I get the 1G more often than I'd like. What's up VZW?
My phone does a similar thing...Moto Droid...Full Bars to No Bars...3g to 1x...constantly, even though I am smack dab in the middle of the "red!"
Major issue for me is I am on a call and it does this, so my phone makes the notification sound, locks up...and I see the bottom half of the phone screen and nothing else. I have to back out to the home screen and go back into the phone to make another call.
Sometimes I will call someone and it will look like it is dialing even though it already has, but I can't hear the other person...but they hear me. This makes it seem like I am prank calling them. Not so fun when you are trying to call for take-out!
Upset,

I go from full 3G to 1x sitting on my couch, and then back again.
At first, I thought it was just being inside, but, same thing happens outside. As far as call signal strength, I am almost always at 4 bars, unless I go to my basement, then I get 3.
Verizon has no idea why, because the Chicago area has 100% coverage. It is a pain in the butt to try and use the phone for it's intended purpose, only to have the data side flake out on me. It's been happening more often the last 2-3 days. Call performance is superior, I just wish the 3G would behave itself.
Going out for my daughter's birthday last night, I was trying to give directions to family members, I went to use Google Maps on my Droid, and of course, when everyone is in a hurry and we are behind schedule, the data signal drops to 1x... and it took 6 minutes for the map and directions to come up.. in that time, my son got out the local atlas, and gave the other family members directions, and they were on their way....
Not happy.
