Replying to: why no cdma by disland Jan 9, 2007, 2:26 PM

The Rest of the World

Jobs' point was that they wanted to grab the widest market possible. Making a phone that works on American CDMA limits their options considerably. With a GSM device, they can sell it to most of the world with no modification. That's the cold hard fact of CDMA - the smaller customer base is a big disadvantage.
