Question: Does your mobile phone service suck in San Francisco?

I am looking for feedback on whether Sprint coverage has gotten worse or my latest Treo 600 replacement (#5) is just awful. Dropped calls have become the norm and the phone doesn't have any reception, even with full bars in my office on Market Street.

It doesn't seem likely that Sprint would somehow make the service worse, but I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this phenomenon. Please post responses in comments.

It's strange being in IT where you expect servers to have 100% uptime and yet my cellphone barely hits 75% uptime. For that matter my DSL at home (with dedicated IPs) is at a crawl...being a consumer is not all it's cracked up to be.

BTW-Hey AT&T and Verizon, this is your chance to provide me with complimentary mobile phone service, aren't blogs part of your new school "buzz marketing" campaigns? And, hey Apple, I need a new MacBook Pro. Thanks.
