I have a Nokia C1-00. I've also had a dozen other basic models from LG and Samsung and they too had this, for some strange reason. I think it has something to do with the phone's inbuilt micro-processor not being powerful enough to hand-over on time....

That's weird and, well, not my experience.

I've never owned a smartphone and usually use basic candybar or flip phones, such as this cheap $20 Nokia sitting next to me. I can't say that reason sounds likely. (And I have a whole drawer full of old, cheap phones that I give to foreigners visiting the US)

Dropped calls are rather rare for me and usually happen when I'm sitting still in my office, not moving about.
