Thanks for the answer

nope...that was covered a few times in rev a discussions. It either isnt possible or isnt enabled thru sprint in the towers..

then you must have some magical Touch because its simply not technically possible with the current EVDO setup Sprint uses. HSDPA with ATT can do it.

so it's pretty much back to 56k dilemma. Can't talk while on the interwebs. Wow.

I can envision Sprint's new marketing gig "Free yourself -- Talk and Surf at the same time!"

Sometimes calls can break thru, but it's not 100%. You definitely can't do them at the same time, and you NEVER could. So it's not really "back" to 56k times. Yup AT&T does it. Wish Sprint could get this too

Thats odd when youre tethering the calls should come through and if you answer them the internet connection would just pause and when you hang up it resumes. Mines been running like this since forever!!

Your calls won't ALWAYS make it through, but a good majority of them will. If your data session is dormant, your call will come through for sure, but if you are actively moving data, it's like 50/50...
