What enables Sprint to allow you use voice and data at the same time has nothing to do with EVDO Rev A and has everything to do with the CDMA network. Sprint has the capability with it’s CDMA network, just has not had a phone to implement such options until the Pre.

Furthermore I don’t believe you when you say you couldn’t go without it. I think it is just something you are holding onto so you can stick with the iPhone.

Nope, HSPA allows perfect voice/data simultaneous use do it all the time. Sprint hasn’t enabled that under EVDO Rev-A (if they can?) nor gone to EVDO Rev-B (which does it).

Major drawback for me since I do sim. voice/data a lot and couldn’t go without it any more.

Umm I’m pretty sure iPhone’s voice and data only occur simultaneously when you are on WiFi! And Pre will be able to make calls and surf at the same time.

There are various guides to help your limited understanding of Windows Mobile devices. Once you learn you will not go back to the iCripple.

Either way, it is a phone, not a (bleeping) contest — some things the Pre will do better than the iPhone, and some things the iPhone will do better than the Pre. I hope they both sell oodles, so that Palm and Apple spur each other on for years to come.

Do you think your intelligence had anything to do with your inability to use a WM phone?

iPhone will not have such capability anytime soon. The Pre comes out June 7th. Forget upgrading, time to graduate!
