    Anyone have this issue. Across numerous OS rev's for some time I have noticed when on the phone I always get only lower case edge and no data throughput capabilities. Very frustrating

    Only 3G can handle simultaneous voice over data... EDGE can't

    I should have been more clear. I know that 3G is required. If I hang up it goes 3G. On the phone it drops to edge. That is the issue.

    With cellular, you can sometimes get passed off to a further away tower when the actual call is made if the closest tower doesn't have the capacity to connect your call. Perhaps the tower you connect to is not 3G.

    If you do a search of this site, there is a signalLOC utility that will allow you to see the details and location of the tower you are connecting too.

    I thought it might be tower related but it seems to happen no matter where I am, US or Canada....doesn't seem to matter.

    Check your simcard to see if it's scratched or scuffed.
    Otherwise it would be tower related issue or at worst a faulty antenna or phone.

    That's why 3G was invented for both DATA/VOICE at the same time.
