How about thinking here people, just think about how cells are designed.
Handoffs DO occur even when you are stationary.  If you are in a position
that can be served by more than one cell, then even though you may be
stationary and in a clean spot, you may be handed off to make way for 
someone in another adjacent cell to move to your cell, either for load 
or coverage purposes.  Cells are very dynamic.  Trust me, the handoff will
wreak havoc with 1200 bps modem.
