Trying to get a data HSPA chip to act like a voice chip seems as silly as converting your 4WD off-road vehicle to run on railway lines. Why would you lock yourself into that narrow little track when you've got something that can take you anywhere?
Definitely. And that's why (comparatively) nobody will be hacking voice calls... unless Nokia does give us most of the code. After, who wouldn't put railway axles under their truck and take it for a spin, if they had all the parts sitting in their garage and nothing else to do one weekend?
