Cellular signal handoff In a cellular network like T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. if one sector of a tri-sector tower is maxed out and can't accept new calls, will a new call request normally served in that sector be handed off to another sector (or another tower/sector) with the next best received signal strength? Or will the call be blocked?

To be honest, a lot of this depends on the configuration adopted by each carrier. Having said that, most carriers will try to hand the call off to another tower or another contracted carrier. Dropped calls are something to be avoided.
