Browsing internet while in a call? Possible?

The workaround is making calls with Skype then its all data.
Motorola Droid + Verizon + Skype = WIN WIN WIN:icon_ banana:

For those unfamiliar with the differences between CDMA (VZW and Sprint) and GSM (almost everyone else in the world outside of the US and Iraq) technology, the following may help...

Looks like more than 2 countries use CDMA...

CDG : Worldwide : Worldwide

If by update you mean software update, then no. If update you mean full network update then the answer is yeas. Once Verizon rolls out its upcoming LTE network you will be able to talk and surf at the same time.

The current Droid will not be able to use that network as it is not an LTE compatible phone.

You probably won't read this or understand this if you do read it as it is clear you did not bother to read any of the responses to your posts.

Maybe the next update will include this? Doubtful, I know.

Wow, contentious. I did respond several times on page one of this post to those who had offered replies to help me out. My apologies if my schedule precludes me from checking this thread until now. And I opted not to subscribe via email.

And I do understand what you are saying in general, though not in particulars. But that is of little consequence; I trust that you are correct.

So, thank you.

I dont think he was trying to be contentious, just getting irritated. This question was answered 9x in this thread, more specifically it was answered VERY clearly in the 2nd response. I am quite honestly surprised that the post went on that long before you were flamed, very impressive and tolerable IMO.

Dude, this question has been asked several times. I don't know why you claim to have never seen it pop up...

(I know, I'm a little late to the party...alm

Probably bc Ive never seen it pop up...that's why I make that claim. Seriously, why would I ask it if I already knew the answer?

My thanks for those who answered. And for those who persisted and offered further clarity beyond the second response (wink).

Thank you! I always feel like I am the only one who knows CDMA is in so many countries. It's not like this is some obscure technology. Go to Japan, the other country (besides US) which leads the globe in technology, they have CDMA all over the place too.

When companies were choosing what to use for their backbone, no one foresaw people using Droids and iPhones and using GBs and GBs of data per month per device. CDMA is and was a viable standard. I live in Chicago, AT&T and T-Mo cannot get a signal into the lower portion of my house (basement and first floor) while Verizon and Sprint can. Their towers are all in the same basic spot, so you tell me, is GSM always better?

Without knowing the particulars of your setup it's hard to say. I can however give you some things to check. I'm going to go with a beginner's approach, so please forgive me if this sounds like I'm talking down to you.

1. Is your router MAC address filtered. In this case, you need to add your Droid's MAC address to the allowed list. You can find this under "About Phone > Status" Once that's done, just choose your network and you're all set.

2. More likely, your router is password protected. In this case, when you turn the wifi on on the Droid, you'll have to select your network from the list and add the password.

3. Do you have a custom ROM on your phone. More specifically, have you overclocked it? There are some Kernals out there that will inadvertently disable wifi. Do a search if this is the case, it's a very easy fix.

Those are the general fixes. Again, without specifics of your set-up that's all I can offer you. Hope that helps!
