Well as a GSM subscriber I can tell you I think the sim card thing rocks. Being able to switch phones when you want or being able to travel abroad (if you need to) and get a local sim for your phone are great advatanges.

Plus the phones are just better because there is a larger customer base to market to. Almost all phones that come out today are automatically GSM 900/1800/1900 so they will work is most of the world and thus can be sold in most of the world.

What has always stopped me from switching to CDMA is there lack of quality phones with useful features like bluetooth, infrared, etc. Even when verizon gets a good phone like the Motorola V710 they lock the features down so it's not worth the cost.

I'm not arguing against CDMA being a good technology but I think GSM is too. It just hasn't been around in the US as long as CDMA so you can't expect equal coverage. You begin to see a coverage vs phones/features issue and I see many Americans liking their phone for free or cheap. Just my 2 cents though.
