I also noticed this. Was really odd. Thought it was me just because the phone was new but Happend a couple of other times. Anyone knwo if this is a limitation of the phone or can be changed?

I thought on GSM, voice takes precedence over data. Am I not correct on this ?

I can receive a call on my Symbian series 60 phone whilst browsing.

You can only receive a call if you are not actively sending data. I've verified this on my 6620 and my treo 650.

If the page is static and already loaded then you should be able to receive calls.

ivwshane is correct. Neither GSM not CDMA can receive a voice call while "actively" transferring data. The reason calls on GSM phones/networks seem to get through better is because the data connections are dropped quicker when the transfer is completed, or at least that's how I understand it. Once Cingular get HSDPA all over the place, and good phones, this won't be an issue anymore.
