I don't understand why the article says VOIP calls will be allowed while using data. I thought VOIP was like Skype, not cell phone calls.

Ignore that website its a crock but it iwll have voice over 3g and data over 4g if you live in a 4g area. Thats been known from the start. They werent sure if it would be ready by launch time but looks like it will be and running on a modified 2.1 so june hurry up so all the rumors can die and we finally get what we see

I hope that the testing turns out a success, even if I don't use it often. The more features the better, we don't want it like the iPhone (IE: Has features but can't use them)

Because *eventually* (key word here), all calls will be VOIP on 4G networks, it's cheaper for the carriers, and eventually the consumers. However, the Wimax network is nowhere NEAR up to that task, and neither it nor LTE will be ready for exclusively VOIP calls until probably 2012 at the earliest.

Just to clarify for everyone the Voice/Data will work only if your in a 4G coverage area...otherwise is will be one or the other...Yeah, it's not quiet like GSM but its close enought for me since this phone is CDMA...Weird though, does anyone get text msg's when there on a voice call sometimes? I do...I'll hear it in my earpiece when some has sent me a text...either that or the txt was coming in right before I took the call...hmm...

That is correct. Only if you have 4g.
