HD Voice in BB10

HD Voice is sooo amazing in BB10. I am surprised no one is talking about it. Does the iPhone or Android do this?

Also does HD Voice use up your data plan?

I believe HD voice is a carrier feature. If a phone supports the codecs, it should work. iPhone 5 supports it, not sure about Samsung/Android phones. I don't believe it uses your data plan, even if it does transmit over the data network.

Funny. I just noticed this on my Z10. Was wondering what it was.

It pretty much the same quality as BBM Voice. It's a neat surprise feature.

It is something the carrier must support. In the USA Sprint was supposed to roll it out by end 2012 but I don't believe they confirmed yet. TMobile said at CES it's up and running already on their network - and on 3 phones (GS3, HTC One S and a Nokia phone I don't remember) they currently have in their lineup (and I guess the BB's once they arrive). AT&T rumor is Q3 2013 though all they state is "sometime in 2013" and Verizon said they won't have it until 2014.
