The Verizon iPhone nears. And that's great news. I can't wait to get one on day one and leave AT&T far in my rearview. But wait, it's not all peachy-keen as The Wall Street Journal reminds us today. AT&T does have two advantages over Verizon right now: its GSM technology is more widely used around the world (meaning the phone can roam around the world), and you can use data while on a call. But it sounds like the latter is about to get eliminated. Over the last year, we've had to listen to Luke Wilson tell us that "the nation's fastest 3G network" is also the one that lets you "talk and surf at the same time." Currently, Verizon cannot do that due to a decision the people behind CDMA (the technology that Verizon uses in its phones) made to split data and voice into separate signals. But as WSJ reports:
