So I see all these commercials saying AT&T has the fastest 3G network. I also see the commercials about being able to surf and talk at the same time.
Now I was almost positive that was crap but figured let me test this out again just to be sure. Sure enough, on the Edge network (which might be the issue, might actually work on 3G which is very limited with AT&T it appears), the iPhone wont talk and do surfing at the same time. You get Cellular data connections are not available during this call as the message on your screen.
So is this just an issue with the iPhone specific or is this just bad marketing on AT&Ts part?

This is possible when connected to AT&Ts 3G network, which is not available in most rural areas. I do this often.

Verizons 3G network has better coverage, but it is fast as AT&Ts EDGE network.

Works fine for me, but it a feature of the 3G network - EDGE is not capable of simultaneous voice/data transmission.
