Coming from every version of the iphone since it's inception, switching over to Verizon iPhone has been great except for 1 major glitch I discovered. While I was in a current call, I received another call and was able to hold & answer just like on the AT&T iPhone. The screen said "multiple calls" and I got an option to "swap" between the 2 active calls, however the "merge" option was grayed out (unavailable) so i couldn't conference the two active calls. When i hung up with one of the calls, i did not get the option to go back to the other call -- when i ended the one call, it ended both calls. i called one of the Apple stores and they were baffled. i tried a test on my wife's Verizon iPhone as well, and the same thing happened. Anyone else have this problem?
Got a tip for us?

Some other known CDMA technology issues:
1. When you exchange long text messages with non-Verizon phones, they get split up into 160-character chunks. GSM phones (AT&T iPhones) are smart enough to reconstitute those chunks into one more readable, consolidated message.
2. When youre on a call, you cant simultaneously check a Web site or send e-mail over the cellular network.
3. If the top of your screen says 3G, an indication that youre in a high-speed Internet area of Verizons network, incoming calls take priority and interrupt your online connection. If youre online in an older, 2G area, you stay online and the call goes directly to voice mail.

Umm... no. GSM iPhones also split long texts into 160 character segments. This happens to me frequently on my AT&T iPhone. It's a limitation of the SMS protocol, but as far as I'm concerned it's a non-issue.
When I would receive an SMS longer than 160 characters from another AT&T smart phone the messages would could through as a full long message. When I received a message from any non smart phone or non att customer they would be split, usually the 2nd part of the message first.
With my new Verizon iPhone they are always split even from Verizon customers. Again, 2nd message always comes first.
