Even now, I think the codec runs at 14.4 or 32Kbps for normal voice calls. 
Data of course is faster, and there are usually codecs for things like MP3 
and MP4 that run a lot faster on data already in the phone.

You'd be absolutely amazed at how much stuff gets stuffed into a cell phone 
chip. Three or four different radio interfaces (i.e., GSM and 3G and 4G and 
CDMA and etc etc), multiple USB root hubs, H.264 and MP4 and MP3 and 
128-channel surround sound and multiple multi-gigahertz cpus and ....

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you could drive a decent laptop off what's 
in a cell phone chip these days.
