I know, you or someone else, might need information from the web or an e-mail that's pertinent to the conversation, but there are many more reasons I would not use an iPhone on AT&T. For starters, if you can't get an effing signal in the first place, you don't have to worry about talking and browsing simultaneously.
I've only ever had a problem getting a signal on my iPhone once or twice, and that was in San Francisco (a known trouble spot for AT&T's coverage). My coverage in NJ is equal to or better than what I had when I was running a Treo 700p on VZW. Yes, it's true that at some times the signal downgrades to EDGE (GSM's 2.5G [word meaning fatherless son] child), but my experience on AT&T hasn't been any worse than my 10+ years on VZW. Of course, your mileage may vary.
