Verizon iPhone can't talk and surf

Is it possible to talk and surf on Verizon's iPhone?

Verizon's version is CDMA. The CDMA standard doesn't split data and voice into separate channels. With the first generation of Verizon iPhone, you can't talk and surf the Web at the same time. Actually many people absolutely need this function on their phone. So you'd better stick with AT&T to do that.

Actually, not for the moment. Maybe some jailbreaking tweak come out and let you do that on Verizon iPhone.

Verizon iPhone facetime without WiFi

FaceTime video chatting feature on iPhone 4 can just be used over Wi-Fi network, not AT&T’s 3G network.

For Verizon iPhone users, you may believe that FaceTime would finally be accessible over 3G. But Apple has no plan for offering FaceTime over 3G on either Verizon nor AT&T in 2011.

You can't jailbreak your Verizon iPhone to do that, because the app allowing you to use FaceTime over 3G just can be used for AT&T iPhone users since now.
