Hi guys. As many are aware, the 5 on Verizon won't do data and voice during a call until Verizon turns on VoLTE.

Here are my questions:

1. Where are some official quotes as to when this will happen? I'm hearing 2013 but does anyone know what quarter?
2. What are some reasons that Verizon is not turning this on already? Is it just really technical and difficult, or are they waiting for something?
3. Are we SURE that the iPhone 5 supports VoLTE? Does it say in the specs?
4. In theory, once it's turned on, does that mean that we can have LTE data during calls, or that the voice call will be LTE, so the data will be 3G during calls? (I'm fine with either, just want my emails and iMessages to come in.)
