I often place and receive calls using my 8703e while tethered (my 7250 behaved the same way).
Actually, oddly enough I found this to not be true, much to my surprise as well. There is a PC game that I play (Final Fantasy XI) and sometimes when I cannot use my home connection, it actually works flawlessly through the blackberry tethered to my PC! Connection is always active, yet I am able to receive phone calls still. If I do not pick up the phone, data keeps flowing and the game keeps running. Should I answer, of course the data connection breaks.
