So will I or won't I have better luck with 3G BB? I sure hope so, I want to be able to go all AT&T so that I can use it with family and employees etc. Please help me understand.

1. Verizon is a different network, different towers, etc., so what generation it is has no relevance to your ability to make a call.
2. Whether it's 2G, 3G, 1G, whatever, a GSM phone call is a GSM phone call. It depends on the signal strength from the tower, and how well your phone can handle it. So, if the Moto on AT&T worked well, and the BB dropped, then the problem is with the BB's reception, not the network, and what kind of G's it has. As another poster pointed out, a different BB could help, maybe even another model, but it'll have nothing to do with what kinds of data throughputs you're going to get (which is what the 3G stuff is about).
