Unfortunately that is right. As Gormond says. If you're using 2G to browse then you can't make/receive calls at the same time. One of the limitations of 2G and certain handsets. 3G browing/calls will work though.
GPRS Class A handsets will drop data in favour of the incoming call. Not sure which one the iPhone is. Sounds like Class B from what you described.
However, i have heard that Orange block it for both devices. Someone might be able to confirm that for me. I know vodafone have no blocks in place and allow GPRS Class A handsets to answer calls while dropping data.
