This is my first iphone on verizon, the only problem I've noticed is that when I go into an area that has no signal, my phone says searching but when I leave the dead spot and go somewhere with good signal, it stays on searching and will not connect until I reboot the phone. Today, the same thing happened, but I decided to wait to see if the phone would finally connect and after a few minutes it did and I had 3-4 bars with 3G. Well, I went to check my email and it kept telling me that it couldn't connect and I tried different apps that required data. I didn't think to try the phone before I rebooted the phone, but after the reboot everything worked like it should. As long as my phone doesn't go to a dead spot, the reception is good, but I guess my phone has a problem coming out of a dead spot. I hope my phone isn'n't defective.
