browse internet while talking on the phone?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I've seen the iPhone commercials, but I just assumed that was something Droid has been able to do all along. Oh well, it's not that big of deal, I was just curious.

Don't believe the iPhone commercials though. The iPhone can't keep a phone call going long enough to really make this feature useful anyway. The call is usually dropped before you get the browser open. ;)

If it is a CDMA thing, then the only carriers in the US that could be able to do it would be AT&T and T-Mobile. It's not a phone thing, it's a carrier thing.

Actually, Apple touts this as a great feature of the iPhone, not AT&T. The awful AT&T ads with Luke Wilson don't even mention it.

They have one that does. The guy has two different droids and is trying to surf and talk at the same time while dropping one of the phones repeatedly. I was in a bar when the add came on and a 70 something year old woman yelled out, "That is so stupid! Why doesn't the idiot use bluetooth?!?" I, along with several others, loled very hard. :D

Ahh, I must have missed the AT&T ones that talk about talking and surfing. The Apple ones are really well done, they showcase practical use cases, that make me almost miss the ability to talk and surf at the same time. But the AT&T ads are just stupid.

Practical? Paying a $150 for some flowers is practical?
