It doesn't matter what the OEM thinks they can or can't do with whatever hardware they're building, it is a limitation of the chipset from Qualcomm, CDMA and EVDO are the same chip so it can only use one at a time.
Besides, Verizon already confirmed it will only do SVD in a 4G area, you leave LTE and you lose SVD, just like with Sprint if you leave WiMax you lose SVD
HTC ThunderBolt will support simultaneous voice and data in LTE areas -- Engadget
