can you surf the web and talk on the new iphone 4s simultaneously on verizons network?

On the iphone 4 you can't but some verizon phones can, like the thunderbolt. The 4s is CDMA and GSM, will this allow the phone to do this?

    Not if your using a 3G data connection, but if you have it on wi-fi and using 3G calling then it will work that way.

    Sorry, but no. (I feel for ya; I'm in the same boat.)

    You will still only be receiving Verizon's CDMA signal, which has yet to obtain the ability to send separate signals for talk and web on the iPhone.

    Apple emphasized that it is indeed a "World" or "Global" phone. What it means, is, even though you have a CDMA network, you can roam on local GSM networks now, more than likely when you're traveling outside of the country. (In theory, when you are on the GSM network, you should be able to multi-task then.)

    Why they still haven't made it possible? I have a feeling this will be solved when true 4G technology emerges in Apple's iPhone.

    But of course, if you're using Wi-Fi, then you can talk and surf.

    No because that's just how CDMA works.
