The issue with Verizon is a network one. As far as BlackBerry OS is concerned, voice traffic always trumps data traffic, and as such, all calls should come through. I have had problems in the past when I had a 7750 with calls going straight to voice mail, but I haven't with my Nextel 7520. When I researched it before, the answer was an unsatisfactory "When the networks are upgraded, this problem should go away". So perhaps when verizon BBs support EVDO it won't be a problem.

I can say this, for me the problem was intermittent. If you're seeing this every single time, I'd call Verizon and try to get some answers.

Sorry I don't have a more complete answer.
