Talk and Surf Simultaneously?

I got my Bold 9930 yesterday. Like everyone else, I have spent the last day and a half customizing and getting to know the updated changes. One I noticed while talking on the phone was that I could surf the web at the same time. I wonder if it may have been because I was using wifi while i was on the phone? None the less, I will try tomorrow without the wifi to see if it works. I don't anticipate that it will as the only phones designed for that ability are the LTE 4G phones.

Hope everyone is enjoying their new phones!!!

On CDMA, you can not talk/surf at the same time. WiFi, yes. GSM, yes.

What he said^^

Verizon (CDMA) Bold 9930 you CANNOT talk & surf at the same time:(

Other carriers GSM/HSPA Bold 9900 you CAN talk & surf at the same time :cool:

Technical limitation of CDMA vs GSM technologies

Not necessarily true.

Yes, Verizon 4G is really that fast!

I figured as much. I had the Thunderbolt and tried the Droid Charge and they both could talk and surf because of LTE. Thanks for validating my suspicion!

Thunderbolt can also talk and surf on 3G.

with CDMA, let's say I'm streaming a video, will the data stop and allow the call to go through or will it just go to voicemail?

Yes, but I am still right!

Verizon 4G is not CDMA, its LTE - a new technology they are migrating to. The 9930 is CDMA 3G, not LTE 4G:rolleyes:

:p

Certain VZW phones can accomplish this on 3G. The Thunderbolt being one of them. I thought maybe this BB could also.
