At this point this is my top concern. I have people calling me and I have to check my schedule and setup appointments. By the time I am moving the time wheel the call drops. I am using Jawbone Bluetooth headset but that is not a problem. My old HP iPAQ has never done that and this is becoming an issue with some making jokes about iPhone.
Wonder if anyone has figured out how to deal with this.

I haven't had problems with double-tasking between Calendar and Phone...

At home, my iPhone drops calls if I don't stand in the backyard and hold it at a certain angle.

Still waiting for those new AT&Tingular towers in my part of town...

Have you done a reset of the phone? PITA but that seems to be a good solution to fix some of the issues that have come up (like Safari crashing incessantly for me). And for the record, I've never had an issue being on a call and checking my calendar or adding an appointment.

I have entered appointments into Calendar while on a call before. No problems here. Definitely try a reset if you haven't already. Otherwise gas up the rig and take a trip to your local Apple Store.

Oh, and those making jokes about your iPhone... gimme names and places, I got nothin better to do today than to slap some fools around.

You may want to think twice before facing hard core Dell/Blacberry county Tech brass. Although they were surprised that I got the Exchange working on iPhone.
I will have to do a restore but that will have to wait - this is the bussiest time of the year.

True, those Blackberrys are heavy and they'd hurt if used as a projectile. Maybe I'll use a 24" iMac as a shield.

(man, i'm bored)
