I would say you need to try the Fuze first.
If you get dropped calls, you can prove its the network.
If you don't it MAY be a problem with the Bold.

Threads here have shown that it appears only AT&T get dropped calls on a Bold, and speculate its a problem with AT&T locking down the 3G/2G switch option.
People with .282 OS which unlocks the switch have had improvement in dropped calls when switched to 2G only.

But the OS on the bold works perfectly well everywhere else. i.e. no dropped calls.
So I would say it could be a combination of AT&T network AND what AT&T do to the OS (i.e. the 2G/3G switch lock down).
