Could someone confirm this for me? I took a quick search, but couldn't find anything in the forum. I saw something saying edge would cut out if you placed a call, which I'm fine with. I'm not sure if you would consider this a bug, but I don't know what the best course of action would be.
I'm on AT&T edge, and I'm currently downloading openarea (200+meg) because of wapa wifi issues with my router, and I don't receive calls while it's downloading. I know edge only supports data or voice, so should phone take priority over the app manager, or should you at least be given a choice? I'm curious if this also happens while streaming audio, or anything with a constant data stream, or if it's just specific to the app manager. I have about another 2-3 hours left to download, so I won't be able to check if it's just the app manager for a while
That's not specific to the N900, that happens to most phones that are on Edge. It's mostly non-problematic. I've streamed internet radio and received calls just fine. Same thing with downloading files or watching youtube videos. The connections just pause until the call ends then they continue.
This is not a bug. It happens to phone. Your N900 only spports Edge with AT-T network so you will either receive voice or data at a given time; not both. If you want a 3G service with the N900, you'd need to switch to T-mobile.
