Try making a call while surfing the internet or playing a game. And if this is the type of hoops one has to jump through to get upgraded, the average consumer won't deal with it.
@(Unverified) Whoa, whoa? Have you been trusting those silly Apple commercials a little to much? I have used G Maps, internet browser, and a game why making a txt/call. In fact, I looked up a recipe (in the browser) for my mom on the fly while talking to her this morning (during a call). Just because AT&T rattles that off in a commercial doesn't make it so.
@(Unverified) Why anyone would NEED to do voice and data at the same time is beyond me. Who wants to wait on the phone while someone looks up something over 3G. I'd argue that the Android OS handles multitasking better, and since most things that i would want to look up (like an email someone sent me, calender, notes, etc) are stored on the phone.
@heatgap You were probably connected to an access point if you used voice and data at the same time, as Verizon's network is not able to do both simultaneously.
Oh I don't know, maybe while you're on the phone with a client you can look up something on the internet or an email they sent a verify something. That's just one example, I'm sure there's 1,000's more.
Funny how people try to justify some thing when it's not available. iPhone user's do this to, it's a two way street.
@(Unverified) Regardless of how I accomplished it, there will always be an iPhairy to fly in and troll on any device other than an iPhone. What a lame ass. The truth is the DROID is so much better than the iPhone and the funny thing is I've had 4 or 5 iPhone using friends admit it.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

@(Unverified) Why? Because now there's no flaws for fanboys to point out?

Verizon doesn't do data and voice at the same time, so, sure thing buddy.
