You actually have to rely of WIFI to get a good connection. My old boost phone had better internet connection, but far less features than this one does.

Having said that, it seems as if the coverage area for the iDEN side has been somewhat decreasing. Locations where I had solid signal in 2009 now are marginal at best. I am exploring other vendors such as ABCO Mobile which is offering unlimited everything, plus roadside vehicle assistance, no credit check or contracts for $39.95 per month. Supposedly it will be on Sprint CDMA. They are scheduled to launch 05-15-10. http://bit.ly/abcom312 As a Boost user of two years I have experienced the worse of the texting issues from last year and have noticed some improvements of recent.

Straight Talk has been giving me problems accepting different credit cards, and despite their quick texting and unlimited plan, their customer service has cost me my phone number, and hours of my life. How much improved is the new texting service? I'd gladly switch back to Boost if that issue has been resolved.
