I know I have for example when I am using the speakerphone to speak with someone and using googlemaps at the same time to give them directions.
To some extent, this is a limitation of Google Maps as much as the CDMA / Pre. Using a Garmin GPS on a 755p, for example, the maps are stored locally, and the GPS data doesn't use the phone radio, so you could talk and get turn-by-turn at the same time. Even with Google, it calculate the entire set of turn-by-turn directions up front. Given how quickly the screen updates, I believe it is caching at least a subset of the maps along your route at the time it calculates the route. Assuming the portion of the route you drive while using the phone doesn't exceed the area cached, this might not be a problem at all.

By look up a number, do you mean in your address book? The Pre will do that (as will the Palm OS). If you mean look up a phone number on the Web, then no, the Pre won't do that.
I think simultaneous voice and data would be nice, but the lack of it isn't a deal breaker. Very rarely do I find myself wishing I could do that with my 755.
