iPhone 4S CDMA/GSM question

After reading that article, it got me wondering, since every iPhone 4S has identical components, is it possible to enable the CDMA radio on a unlocked GSM iPhone 4S? Likewise, if you unlock a CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) iPhone 4S it will work perfectly on any foreign SIM card, is it possible to enable it to work on US carrier SIM cards? Maybe by some type of software "hack"? Has anyone done it yet? If not, then any ideas on how it could be done? Or why it can't be done? Would jailbreaking make this work (changing basebands)?

I googled and searched this forum for this and didn't really find any answers.

Also, anyone know a good place to buy quality OEM iPhone replacement parts?

Doesn't mean Verizon/Sprint will activate it though (they won't).

Yes, and possible. Either, ask VZW to unlock it or google Gevey SIM (only works on certain basebands I think).

See above.

Site I posted above is the official website. eBay is full of Chinese fakes or clones. Not sure how those work.

Verizon will unlock it, but it won't work on US carrier SIM cards. Thanks for the website! But, I'm actually looking for iPhone 3GS replacement parts. It doesn't look like they have a good selection for 3GS.

The website isn't for parts, the website is for a SIM unlocker for the iPhone GSM and CDMA (Gevey SIM).
Seems to only work on the 4S with iOS 5
