hoping things will get better

hey all,
just picked up my treo 700 saturday!!! is it me? it seems that i have lost some reception over the standard verizon phones. first thing i did when i got it home was call it from my GF's verizon phone. the first 4 calls never went through!!! ever since then they have all gone through, at least the ones that i made myself to myself. in my home i have 0-1 bar of signal where my old phone has all 5-6 bars!!!:redface: My gf's curently reads also 5-6 bars of signal while like i said the treo is at 0-1 bar of signal....also i have been dropping calls like crazzy...man this isnt looking good. i got the phone so that i can stay organized but not at the loss of reception. thats the reason i have a phone in the first place.....can someone cheer me up??!! looks like i may be taking it back for a refund or exchange rather to a razor. i cant give up reception.!!ARRRRRGHH! other than that i luv my treo!!!

No pun intended, but that doesn't sound right. I have great reception and zero dropped calls with my 700w. A good friend of mine got the Razr and I haven't been impressed with his voice quality. Might be his phone as I'm sure the Razr wouldn't be as popular as it is without being a solid phone. I'd stop by your Verizon store and see what they say, but that definitely has not been my experience.

Good luck.
Chris
