known bug.... bars arent really the truth.. look at sig strength
look at sig strength in settings - about phone - network - i have one bar but im showing -79 dBm
or are you just unable to make a call period?
My bar is at one bar all the time but can still text and call like its not an issue.
It says:
"Signal strenght: -88dBm"
Is that good or bad..?
And I can make calls, its just not very good reception/sound quality.

that should be good.
Please do not go by the amount of bars for signal strength. Go by actual, here's how
"Anything from -70 to the low -90's should be considered great to good. Anything over -100 will start to get touchy, but you can still be alright depending on how well a phone holds the signal."

Is it actually affecting calls? Are you dropping calls, calls fading in n out? If not it may just be a cosmetic issue.
CatsTide, the side by side test, unless you were in the same store, city as the OP, it doesnt mean anything. For where ever the OP lives/works he needs to find a solution. Could be a faulty phone too.
Krum, has any phones gave u problems before? And to be honest I wouldnt go by the decible thing either. Its a good judge of quality n all, but if u have a phone in hand and u drop calls and calls fade in n out, thats what matters, real world tests. But it could be a phone issue too. Try one in their store and see if the same thing happens.

It hasn't dropped any calls yet, but it has gone in and out once or twice.
Well this is my first droid, I had At&t and everything was good over there.
I use for a little while longer to see if I like it or not.
EDIT: I am going back to a verizon store in a few days so Ill check it out there, If it is fulty, Ill get it replaced, hopefully.
