In a wildly disappointing turn of events, it has been confirmed that the iPhone 5 running on the Verizon network still won't support simultaneous voice and data. The decision was made due to the need for a 3rd antenna that would be needed to support the feature.
Android phones with LTE compatibility have long since offered simultaneous voice and data on the Verizon network, it was widely expected that Apple will do the same. For the time being, iPhone 5 users will have to rely on data through WiFi while on a voice call like all previous generations of Verizon iPhones.
Sprint has not yet commented what to expect with an iPhone 5 running on their network. AT&T iPhone 5 owners will enjoy simultaneous voice and data as this restriction doesn't affect GSM networks.
