Lack of high end phones and minimal coverage are two drawbacks of Wind, obviously. I have the Nexus S with Wind, a phone I love, and a phone I would have with either of the big 3, but that is about it.
As for dropped calls, I've never really had that issue, and haven't heard about problems from people calling me. I had some issues with reception for a bit, but I dropped the Blackberry and no problems at all with my Nexus S.
The new spectrum auction in the new year is going to be interesting if the big 3 aren't allowed to hoard it all. Wind has the potential to be a major player in the Canadian cell phone market, but it's a new company and their are obvious growing pains.
