I see the Thunderbolt will allow phone and data at the same time. Wondering if the same feature will work when operating in a 3g area?

Re: Features

Yes, SVD will work in 3G as well on the Thunderbolt. This is a feature supported by VZW but the phone hardware must be configured to use it as well. So, just because a phone is coming out after VZW added this ability doesn't mean it will have SVD unless the OEM built it in.

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
be sure to see the note at the bottom of the slide

Re: Features

Got the thunderbolt yesterday and it has a 4 g sim. I asked if this could be used on a gsm network and a verizon representative said the phone would have to be unlocked to be used on another network.

Re: Features

I can confirm it works fine for me - I am in a 3g only area, my WIFI is off. I made a phone call, put it on speaker, and then opened the browser and went to Wikipedia, no problem. Awesome!

Re: Features

I just tested this on 3G with NO wifi, and I can confirm that there IS SVD. Taskbar showed 3G while I was on the call, and I could browse the web at normal 3G speeds. This was NOT 1x...

Craziness... I woulda been the last one to believe SVD on 3G was possible...

SWEET!!!!

Svd will not work in 3g. Cdma has never and will never allow it do to the technology. Only 4g or gsm will allow svd. If 3g allowed it companies would be making their phones do this left and right to compete with att and their commercials that show svd on their phones.
