My stock Droid 3 on Page Plus works very well, but has developed this problem when making phone calls. The phone responds as quickly as expected when doing anything until I do something that initiates a phone call. Then nothing happens for 10-15 seconds until finally the in-call screen pops up and the calling process begins.
The problem is the same whether I initiate the call from a widget, the dialer, recent calls or my contacts. Also, the phone doesn't freeze - I have actually given up on making a call and been sending a text instead when suddenly the in-call screen jumps up and starts making the call I abandoned 20 seconds ago.
I don't know if the same problem exists for incoming calls. I know of a single instance in the last two weeks where someone tried to call me but couldn't get through even though I was in good coverage, but that seems inconclusive.
Rebooting fixes the problem for about 10 minutes. That's not a solution, since it still means I'm waiting for my phone instead of talking on it.
