Your deathgrip experience is exactly normal. (sad as that sounds) Good area=little or no problem. Weak area = big problem. I suggest getting a case or bumper if you're going to use your phone in a weak signal area. Many people find the (cased) iPhone 4's ability to hold weak signal to be very good to excellent.

Question 2, I don't know about.

Question 3, call your carrier. You may need to reset you voicemail password.
 
I agree with everything from the above post.

Question 2: I have this problem with my iPad sometimes. It usually is because too much media syncs at one time (as weird as that sounds) after a hard reset on the device and restarting iTunes I have not seen the problem duplicate itself. Maybe 3.2.1 fixed that for the iPad too.
