Wow, Silver 6056, if 10,400,000+ phones equals "almost none" in your eyes, how many phones would Verizon have to sell to move up to the "only a few" catagory?
Well, it would need to sell at least as many as the Droid 3 did, which sold 18 Billion units on Verizon in the first two nano-seconds that it was available. So Apple has a way to go.
Or.... you could look up to see my response to Budone over a day ago.
Yes, it is a nice feature, but Iv'e learned to live with out it. No drop calls is what i'm looking for.

it wasn't a glaring defect, nether the 4 or 4s were advertised with 4g.
The "glaring defect" referred to (not originally by me) is the title of the thread, no simultaneous voice and data on the Verizon version of the 4 and 4s, whereas this WAS available on the GSM versions. This didn't seem to hold back sales, so the guess is that it won't impact the 5 either (although now many Verizon phones DO support it, making the lack of it on the 5 more noticeable, but probably still not significant to many).
Here is what i Got from the iPhone 5 Manual of why there is ( No Simultaneous Voice and Data ) Read the Following Closely b33
If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the , , , , or icon appears in the status bar.
LTE, 4G and 3G service on GSM cellular networks support simultaneous voice and data communications. For all other cellular connections, you can’t use Internet services while you’re talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone transfers data over the cellular network—when downloading a webpage, for example.
GSM networks: On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
CDMA networks: On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer incoming calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
Data transfer resumes when you end the call.
If Cellular Data is turned off, all data services will use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is turned on, carrier charges may apply. For example, certain features and services such as Siri and Messages transfer data, and your use of these features and services could impact charges to your data plan.
Turn Cellular Data on or off: Go to Settings > General > Cellular, then turn Cellular Data on or off. The following options may also be available:
••
Turn Voice Roaming on or off (CDMA): Turn Voice Roaming off to avoid charges from using other carrier’s networks. When your carrier’s network isn’t available, iPhone won’t have cellular (data or voice) service.
••
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Data Roaming permits Internet access over a cellular data network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. When you’re traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges. See Carrier on page 133.
••
Enable or disable 3G: Using 3G loads Internet data faster in some cases, but may decrease battery performance. If you’re making a lot of phone calls, you may want to turn 3G off to extend battery life. This option is not available in all areas.
Set up Personal Hotspot: Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Set Up Personal Hotspot. Personal Hotspot shares iPhone’s Internet connection with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot on page 132.
Set when cellular data is used: Go to Settings > General > Cellular, then turn cellular data on or off for iCloud Documents, iTunes, FaceTime, Passbook updates, or Reading List. When these settings are off, iPhone will use only Wi-Fi. iTunes includes both iTunes Match and automatic downloads from iTunes and App Store.
