iPhone 5 cannot do simultaneous voice and LTE data on CDMA

14 September, 2012
The reason for this is due to Apple's decision to go with a thinner and lighter design.

it will be a problem for cdma places and when lte becomes the international standard. but then still a deal breaker for someone who knows how to multitask.

        CDMA is old technology. Why still use it? GSM is the international standard.

            It's not so bad if we cannot use data while using voice. The question is, while we are using data, can the call then comes in? Now that would be a big issue!
            (one thing for sure, competitors are going to have a field day making fun of this limitation)

                  oh hmmm my galaxy nexus can do that. But my nexus isnt as thin. But then again i would rather have data and voice than have a 7.6mm phone

                    I really think this news is gonna be irrelkevant to most iphone users, as most of them are not even that smart to multitask. As long as its released by crapple, they're gonna buy it...goodluck to you guys, while others are enjoying advanced technology, you're enjoying a bigger screen and thinner phone...very smart...tsk tsk

                      That doesn't really matter so much. It's good they have sacrificed this option for thickness, it is really cool! You always have to make a compromisse anyway.. I am personally waiting for Lumia 920 and i know i will have to live without e.g. Amoled screen or Fm transmitter (lol). Well, if I was richer i would buy both, Lumia 920 and iPhone 5. Both of them have a mindblowing design, their specs also for me are absolutely excellent.

                          Its not a big deal.it can be compensated for 4 INCHES RETINA display and thinner iphone.i will wait for Tim Cook to say that that's right way to use a phone.voice first before data..nyahahaha

                            I think tHis news is irrelevant, as iphone users are not even that smart to mutitask in the first place. As long as it came from crapple, their good with it, hahah...even an old n95 can mutitask...

                              [deleted post]Data is not only used for looking something up, though Apple users can be forgiven for taking such a naive view. It can be used to load pages in background, upload pics to SNS, downloading songs and apps, and other things.

                              When will you guys stop pretending that if your god-phone doesn't have something it is not relevant?

                                  downloading... 99%, then suddenly a phone call. Oh no! Unless lucky enough the download can be resume.

                                        Dont worry iPhone lover, it's not end of the world yet, you just wait for the iPhone 5S and it will be supporting this features.
