Don't have Intelliscreen nor did I ever.

What I just experimented with is seeing what happens if the phone call comes in right when the network is switching between 3G and Edge. Interestingly, it seems that if a call, text or whatever comes in too son after the phone switches from 3G to EDGE, even if the bars pop up before the phone rings, the call will go straight to voicemail. If someone doesnt leave a message, then no way of knowing someone even tried to call. The calls seems to come through better when switching from EDGE to 3G. 5 out of 5 calls went straight to voice mail while switching from 3G to Edge, compared to only 1 out of 5 going to voicemail when switching from edge to 3G. All this means is that the iPhone seems ot switch from edge to 3G faster than it des to go from 3G to edge. If the call happens to come in during that few seconds of no bars, well it goes to voice mail. So then for the number of missed calls we are getting, it seems like they all can't be coiming in while the iphone is switching networks.

OK so now what? Well my thought is this, seems like the issue happens more when our phones are in sleep mode. The question that comes to mind is this. Does the iPhone still switch between 3G and Edge when it is alseep? Could it be that when the phone is in sleep mode and the 3G signal is lost, that the iPhone wont switch to edge? if so, could a fix be made?
