Simultaneous Talking and Surfing Being Prepped by Verizon
T-Mobile has already been doing that
but it really came in handy when they kicked in with smart-phones. for example. white-pages app for android requires simultaneous voice & data preferably on 3G to retrieve name and number directory data fast before you pick up or the caller disconnects. this can't be done currently on cdma systems, which is the main gripe of verizon and sprint subscribers, more so for verizon i would imagine since i heard you can talk and surf on cdma+wimax. 👀

Yeah, on a GSM network, as long as you are in 3G coverage, simultaneous voice and data works like a champ. Honestly, I haven't had much need for this, but it has come in handy when I needed to look something up for someone, and didn't want to have to call them back.

Of course you haven't a need, because you are using inferior cdma technology. What if you were tethering a phone, you would see where this could be very relevant, or if you're on the irc and several other options which may require data and voice at the same time.

lol...wow IRC (internet relay chat) is an old school system of chatting and exchanging files. from the days of aol dial up when it was king and IRC has survived throughout the years. YOU'VE GOT MAIL!

Versed,
You are going to have to define "Inferior" in this case. The CDMA we hear about today is in fact a newer technology based on the CDMA2000 platform. Not the older CDMA. CDMA2000 promised a far better voice and data experience. Less interference, fewer dropped calls and more secure. This has indeed proved to match that promise. You just can't do both at the same time. Every carrier that has been using CDMA, has graduated with high honors in these categories. The inception of EV-DV in 2004, would have clearly made simultaneous Voice and Data a reality for the CDMA platform which would have completed the missing link. But, the overall premise of CDMA' s basis has not changed. It still is what it was executed for.
Sprint foug...

i dont see a single compromise in having GSM, i do see more flexibility and the quality and security is great. i never had anyone crack my signal and listen in on my conversation with the wife 🤣

Slammer,
Yes inferior, name a gsm carrier on earth that went cdma? Many have gone the other way.

CDMA, no interference on other radio devices like stereos,pa systems,recording studios and clock radios. Much fewer dropped calls amd a much larger 3g data coverage area than any US GSM carrier plus more bandwith..Oh, and clearer sound..Being a dealer I have phones from all 4 major carriers and I prefer CDMA. Never have needed the talk/data feature but my HTC EVo does it when I'm in a 4G area. (everywhere here in Austin)

Hate to tell you this but GSM was abandoned in favor of a CDMA air interface in the AT&T and T-Mobile 3G. 3G does not make speakers buzz nor does it alter CRT images.
GSM is a 2G product. They kept the GSM data core but use a CDMA air interface in 3G, hence it is called WCDMA.

I think there is some confusion here. GSM's last technology jump was EDGE. GSM is a TDMA network. UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA and HSPA+ are all CDMA air interfaces. GSM annot mix voice and data at the same time, it takes a wideband (5MHZ channel) CDMA product to do it. Versed is mistaken, virtually EVERY carrier went to CDMA in one form or another. GSM has been described as the best piston engine fighter in the jet age.
CDMA has rev B and rev C which were cancelled by U.S. CDMA carriers for WIMAX/LTE

Dude, I've got T-Mo. I work for them. I have tethered my phone many times. But for the average Joe Customer, its just not a huge deal. I know it has benefits, I'm just saying its not a huge differntiator.
