My phone keeps dropping data as well. A restart and/or battery removal will normally get it going again. I just got off the phone with VZW support. He said that shouldn't be happening. Was quite helpful and friendly (said he was in Irvine, CA) ... He offered to get me another Droid Charge or sell me another phone. He spent about 5 solid mins trying to push an iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 on me.
I came about having a Charge because my Samsung Fascinate crapped out. They wouldn't give me anything off an upgrade due to the problems I was having. Said my phone, the Fascinate, was out of warranty so there was nothing he could do.
I think I'm done with Samsung phones ... this Charge and 4G are awesome when it's all working unfortunately it's increasingly not working. Was hoping the OS upgrade would be the magic fix but it's only marginally better.
I was in the exact same situation. I had an Omnia for 2 years. Then a Fascinate, then a Charge, and finally I said forget Samsung and traded mine in for an HTC Incredible 2. One week in, and I haven't looked back once!
