Chakravartin and Robert M hit the nail on the head for most regular users. Robert M alludes to this a bit too; if you conduct business with your iPhone, this is a deal-breaker.
I regularly need to be on the phone with a reporter or co-worker while simultaneously looking at an email or a website or accessing data of some other sort. Sure, if I'm on WiFi it's no big deal, but if I'm in the middle of nowhere having to go back and forth with a reporter several times while I check or verify information it will get REALLY annoying for them fast and they'll start using other sources.
I can understand how, if you've never had this feature you don't realize what you're missing. KNOWING how much I use this feature now, I could NOT go without.
I use 3G data frequently while on a call. Checking stock prices, looking up movie times, finding directions, locating ATMs, searching Wikipedia.com... It would be a PITA to lose that ability.

Haven't found this to be a problem in almost a year of 4S usage on Verizon. Thought it would be an inconvenience. It just isn't.
