This is VERY bad news. I've had the 830 for less than a year and I need a new phone because this one sucks SOOO bad. My sons cheap little 530 gets 3 or 4 bars when I'm showing "no service". The phone doesn't just drop calls, it completely shuts OFF while I'm talking. It's a piece of crap and I guess I need to steer clear of any phone that starts with 8.
I've always had people tell me that the cheaper the phone, the better it actually works. I'm starting to believe it.

Well if you want me to make a suggestion, go with an i560. Great bang for the buck! Or an unlocked boost i450 (very cheap on ebay)

You must have had a bad phone. I've had an 836 since the day it was released and have had absolutely no problems with it, and have gotten better service than ever before. It works as well as my friends 870.
