Re: The Rest of the World
Hey, I thought I had an intelligent answer. 
But I didn't have the figures, so I can see your point. 
It should be mentioned that WCDMA/UMTS should be grouped with GSM (since it's the evolutionary step from GSM), and that Korea should be considered a separate market, as they use different frequencies of CDMA.
I'm highly suspicious of the China figure: that's almost a quarter of the population. Keep in mind how many people in China live in rural/semi rural areas, who'd have no use for a cell phone, much less the income to afford one. All that for CDMA only? Meaning GSM is significantly more? I doubt it.
