Can I send and receive data at the same time on 4G?

I can't remember the technical term for it but would I be able to say, browse the internet and make a call at the same time? I've realized it can be annoying when you try to send a text while receiving one and it fails.

Oh wait, I think its called full-duplex

On 4g, most definitely. On 3g...it's looking like a yes for this as well. Though there's been some rumors it's not going to work. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yes, via LTE+3G (fast data) or both over 3G (slow data).

Yes, you can do voice+data over LTE.

As for voice+data over CDMA, the Thunderbolt may be an exception thanks to SV-DO, but typically the voice signal kills the data signal in a CDMA chipset - only one can function at a time.
