It is a device feature. Many Sprint phones will allow surfing WiMax or WiFi and talking on the phone. The LG Viper and Galaxy Nexus will allow LTE and talking on the phone (SVLTE). And the new EVO LTE will allow 3G, LTE and WiFi simulatenously while talking on the phone (SVDO and SVLTE).

I believe the Viper also allows it over 3G.

Yep-- the Viper has SVDO like the Rezound and Thunderbolt-- and apparently, the LTE EVO as well! All LTE phones do SVLTE just like WiMax phones did voice with WiMax (I guess-- never witnessed WiMax in operation).

SVWiMax works great when you get a good WiMax signal.

Edit: I'd be perfectly happy with SVDO if nothing else was available.

Wait the viper has the MDM chip in it the same as the rezound?.....ha Duh. LOL silly oversight there by me if that's the case.

I appreciate the SVDO and SVLTE features we now enjoy, but I have to wonder how you can surf much with the phone against your face? I always thought this was a pretty dumb, mostly useless feature.

Agreed. I can just imagine a bunch of people using speakerphone in a nice peaceful restaurant so they can also use data.

Speakerphone works great, or bluetooth and wired headsets make that happen.

And when they fully implement PTT on CDMA and you have to listen to someone blaring their conversation on speaker in the checkout line at Wally World.

Let me reenact someone talking on the phone and surfing at the same time: ". . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . uh yeah, I'm listening."

I think the for me the mayor part of the problem is if your downloading something, it stops and then resume. That would be great to download a ROM over LTE and call someone at the same time to tell them, don't call me, i'm gonna be fixing my phone. Yes, i have to admit it, i'm a flashaholic.

I dont remember anyone complaining about this until the giant 3G/footprint whore off that verizon and att had a few years ago, when att finally settled in saying " the network that allows you to talk -and- text in more places" bla bla bla.

If 100 people value the feature, id imagine that about 10 of them have a real world opportunity to benefit from it while the other 90 have had their mind made up since they saw the att commercial where the guy " made reservations for his girls bday while she reminded him about her bday" .... and thought to themselves " that could be me"
