Help Data Connectivity Issue

I got my incredible yesturday and was using it at home no problems. Took it to work today and cannot get any data connections to work. I've tried doing the *228 updates to no avail. The strange part is that when the phone first turns on data works fine for a few minutes and then quits. Restarting the phone causes the same thing to happen every time, data works great for ~2 minutes then nothing after that.

The 3G icon is active and flashes intermitantly and I have 2 bars of signal. Going into the phone settings I have -90 dBm, am in service and not roaming. I can also send texts and make calls with no issue, its only that data that is not working.
 
Upon further inspection it seems to be a network issue, not a phone issue. My old BB, which I still have, is experiencing the same issues. I used the BB in this office for a year without any problems, they must be working on the tower or something. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Many of us have had the same issue and it was a Verizon problem. You need to call CS and they will manually register your phone on their network. Mine worked the first day I activated it, but then the 3g data stopped working until I called Verizon, they did something and then had me reboot the phone and it's been fine ever since.
