What is the experience people are having with the dropped calls issue on the 3G iPhone?
 
I'm hoping the upcoming software update fixes this issue. Apple replaced mine when they ran a diagnostic at the Apple store and found 22% of calls dropped. The new phone doesn't seem much better, but I think I'll just wait it out this time
 
I'm sorry but this is a terrible poll. I had to choose "no problems at all" even though I've had data related problems. It should be "no dropped calls".
 
Call Failed

Does anyone else get "Call Failed" when trying to start a phone call? I'll get this 3-4 or even 5 times when attempting to make a phone call sometimes before getting a connection...

I had this problem once walking up from downtown in Seattle. I was talking to one of my friends and got the "call failed" message three times in the space of about 10 min. My phone also became generally unresponsive and I had to do a hard restart on it. Besides that one night (about a month ago) I haven't had any problems.

I see your point. In my defense, the poll question does clearly say:

It doesn't ask about anything but dropped calls.
