sorry...little drunk...spelling errors

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

Yeah CDMA radios are not capable of simultaneous transmission and reception of EVDO and 1x. Sorry. No Sprint phone ever has, probably no Sprint phone ever will. Same with Verizon. This is a "Feature" of GSM.

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

So how can diablo get on the net whilest talking on the phone, but no one else in the ENTIRE universe of Sprint can? Not even Sprint's CEO can do it, and he's on TV!!!

Come to think of it my bb was on the nextel side thenhat was back in and that was in 2006

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

iDen is outside the range of my knowledge, mostly because it sucks. It is entirely possible that iDen was capable of this, or you may have been using CDMA for voice and iDen for data (or the inverse of that) because most sprint/nextel blackberries are dual mode.

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

You are probaly right . this was the time Sprint was experimental with there dual phones. BB7100 which they just retired last year

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

Lilbitz is right! This is a limitation of CDMA. GSM does not have this limitation. Now, with the adoption of WiMax or LTE, this would be possible. More so with LTE as this would allow both to be done using the network and not WiFI.

lol ive never rly needed to use it tho haah

Re: using internet while on the phone
 

Humm, sorry I don't know where you got that info from. But as far as I know Sprint doesn't "block" voice + data capabilities.

Also, there is only one carrier's network infrastructure that is capable of voice+data (high speed) and that's AT&T.

The only way you can possibly get both simultaneous voice+data (high speed) is if you have a Google Voice account and use it instead of your Sprint number/service, as it is essentially VOIP through your data connection.

I.E. Voice/SMS travels over the 1X portion of the service, on the other hand, data (high speed) is over EVDO. You do, and can get "data", albeit slow over 1X.

Hope that helps,
