"Verizon's CDMA network doesn't support simultaneous voice and data as with the GSM version"
This is probably a deal killer for me. I do this quite frequently. I also remember on the old edge network data activity sometimes sent callers to voicemail, which is unacceptable. Hopefully Verizon does not have that issue as well.
My biggest hope is that competition forces AT&T to be less ridiculous about data pricing for people with multiple devices, tethering, hotspots, etc.
- metamatt 16y agoOn other CDMA smartphones, I've never seen data activity send callers to voicemail -- the call goes through, the data connection stalls until the call ends. Not optimal, surely, but nowhere near as bad as sending calls to voicemail without ringing like the old iPhone on EDGE.
- code_duck 16y agoI had noticed this on my Verizon phone but didn't realize there was a technical reason. It's pretty annoying to be waiting on hold, and not being able to fribble on the internet in the meantime!
