signal? Or does the transfer interrupt?

No, that's not accurate. GSM CANNOT do voice and data simultaneously.
However, I keep myself connected to data (email, IM, etc.) all the time,
and I can still receive phone calls. However, as soon as the phone
starts ringing, data is unavailable until I hang up/ignore the call.
GSM uses the data protocols of "GPRS" and "EGPRS"(or "Edge") depending
on what your local area/tower supports (they are still building out the
EDGE network in places). Plain old GPRS gets 56K at best, but probably
a good deal less in practice. EDGE is supposed to get somewhere between
100kbsp and 200kbps, so it's a lot faster, but still not quite
"broadband" - it compares to the non-EVDO speeds on CDMA networks. The
future of GSM is HSDPA, which would compete with EVDO but I think still
doesn't have quite as high speeds as EVDO (although its still many times
faster than EDGE, so could be considered "broadband"). Whether or not
it will allow for simultaneous voice and data I have no idea...
