Can't seem to find confirmation of this regarding the 9530, has it been mentioned in any reviews?

the 9530 will not have this because cdma doesnt support this on their 3g network

i thought it has already been discussed that the chipset being used on the EVDO rev a will allow fo data and VOIP, whih while technically data, serves the same purpose

Although this appears to be technically true about Rev. A, I'm doubting that it's going to be implemented.

this is from the BGR-leaked "wow factors" presentation -- for the 9530. Note the Verizon logo on the phone -- and the second bullet.

"1 Simultaneous voice and data connectivity is only available when the BlackBerry Storm smartphone is connected to a HSPA GSM network."

Tricky bastards. So, "yes, the 9530 will do it," but "only in Europe."

Found this on the official blackberry site:

So no go for us on VZW, not a huge deal, but would have been nice to have.
