With wifi enabled maybe. CDMA 3G cannot do data & voice at the same time. At least not the version VZW is currently using.

SVDO

I can't really find anything that states when Verizon and Sprint will support SVDO, and I'm assuming the chipset in the phone has to support it as well. I found a lot of chatter through Google saying the VZW iPhone does not support SVDO but the Thunderbolt may. Haven't really been able to find anything official that states SVDO for the TB though (haven't look too hard though :P).

Yes SVD would work with wifi enabled, Sprint and Verizon have always supported it in that respect, just no one talks about it because who cares, you can't use it all the time.
And there is no time frame for when sprint and verizon will support, its a limitation of the technology they use. Now that they have WiMax and LTE theyre all over it.

Actually, it looks like it may work - not necessarily well, but it has apparently been confirmed...

It will be interesting to see what this really means, but the fact that they are telling their salesmen to not use it as a selling point makes it sound like a pretty craptastic implementation.

What does "not necessarily well" mean? Slower data speeds?

Basically, it was not tested in the lab so they want to self handicap and say that it may not work well. Truth is it works unbelievably well. It's so nice to finally use google maps navigation and accept a phone call at the same time.
