Similar thing here. It happens randomly at my home, even though the connection is fine for phone calls. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?

Try turning off the mobile network and turning it back on after a minute. Also try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=27660&
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.
Spotty reception in certain locations only is most likely a fault with your provider's coverage.
Cheers,
