I believe that data stream is put on hold when a voice call comes thru and when the call is ended you can resume your data call, is that correct?
I have tried it out with my wifi connection. I can browse while talking on the phone.

My understanding is that for the conference feature to work, it must be supported by the service provider.
That is, if your network supports conference, you can make a cellular call conference. If your IM supports conference then you can have a conference among your IM contacts.
And all this interconnections happen at the service provider end.

But I think it should be possible to mimic the conference feature on n900 by properly routing incoming and outgoing voice signals.

Also, I guess it's illegal in some countries to route phone calls via internet as the service providers lose money.
