hopefully it'll use the superior CDMA tech, although if they've got Spaniards working on it, fat chance of that.

Quick answer: He has no frickin' clue what he's talking about. If anything its the other way around.

true...but still a quality post.

I'll wait for a respectable new source like The Inquirer to report it before I believe anything.

Well Europe is largely GSM. Cingular and T-Mobile are GSM, while Verizon is CDMA, and I can't recall in the least what Sprint is. CDMA in the US has a more widespread network and more coverage areas. GSM puts out a stronger signal and also uses SIM cards so transferring between phones is much easier. Phones on a GSM network should be more likely to work when underground in populated cities. I noticed in alot of places that my Verizon phone gets coverage where no one else's does, but then friends' Cingular phones will work in the underground subway stations when mine gets no signal. Really there are trade offs to both, but once GSM is as widespread as CDMA, it'll definately be the better choice. Though I'll never go with Cingular so long as AT&T owns them.

The reason I carry a verizon, sprint, and cingular phone. if your a traveler 1 phone does not cut it.

Where can I get one of these "movable" phones I've heard so much about?

I don't know what the big deal is. I can move my rotary phone from my Kitchen to my Bedroom no problem.

Yes Sprint is also CDMA. CDMA/TDMA are older technologies, and you pretty much got everything right. Analog wise, yes they are better but thats only for people who go on road trips and need a signal in BFE somehwere. If you don't travel outside of urban areas much the difference is minimal, and personally I find GSM better in any urban area. I live in Colorado, and get a signal up at ski resorts where my old Verizon phone didn't. I also got a signal in places with the Verizon that I don't with my new Cingular phone.

However, GSM is newer and far superior which is also why it isn't quite as big as CDMA since networks were built on that, and now they have to build all of the coverage areas again on GSM. In the US? Not so much, but it will be as you said.. There is a reason why the entire rest of the world has built there new 3G, 4G and in some areas 5G networks on GSM. If you ever travel to Europe, Japan, Australia, Africa - hell if you ever travel at all outside of Canada or Mexico - you won't be able to use your phone unless its GSM or has both like world phones do.

oh? most gsm users are still stuck on EDGE of all things. not to mention EVDO requires 1/4 less of the spectrum space UMTS/HDPSA does (3.75 MHz for the voice and data channels total vs. 5 MHz) for very little increase in downlink speed (3.1 v. 3.5). plus EVDO has a much higher uplink rate (1.8 v. 384)

However, GSM is newer and far superior which is also why it isn't quite as big as CDMA since networks were built on that, and now they have to build all of the coverage areas again on GSM.

you are aware that the old TDMA GSM was canned in favor of a compatible CDMA standard known as UMTS, right? and that GSM is older than cdmaOne, right?

I predict that one day this planet shall no longer be referred to as "Planet Earth" but rather Planet Google. And our civilization will resemble that of the Marklars.

Greetings, Google! I am Google! This is Google.
