Newer mobile telephony protocols

First, let me preface my question by saying that I know absolutely NOTHING about mobile telephony protocols. That being said...

Do newer protocols [CDMA2000 EV-DO] provide better connection/reception than older protocols [GSM 850/900/1900]? My current cell phone [a Motorola V180] gets absolutely horrid reception whenever I move indoors, and I was just wondering if I would see simlar results from newer phones, or if I can expect to have better reception.
 
Both should have similar reception depending on location but if you travel Internationaly I would stay with GSM as it is more widely used. I think it's about 70 to 80% of the market world wide but don't quote me on that. As for the future I think that CDMA for now has the advantage of being able to have faster connection with the 3G. But there is a new Technology with new GMS phones that is called UMTS and will provide faster speed.

If anyone want's to correct me on anything above, please feel free.
 
Hmmm... thats good to know about GSM being a more prevalent worldwide standard, but will the newer standards improve call reception? I don't use any of the multi-media features offered by the big service providers, so data transfer rates aren't really my concern.

Thanks for the info though!
