WOW! I'm just now fond of some devices supporting European frequencies, and some devices supporting U.S. bands, damn it, the G in GSM stands for Global, I think ALL GSM handsets should be 850/900/1800/1900/2100.
I mean let global mean global!!!
Don't forget 1700.
RIGHT NOW: I am going PHSYCHO trying to get my Cingular 8525 to first of all recognize my 2GB microSD card, really frinkin driving me phsycho!!!!!

Um, what does the NUMBER of users have to do with WHICH technology is better?
CDMA is well documented as the superior tech.
It's just not as widely used...nor has it been on the market for as long as GSM.

And with that I'd like to add the following: GSM handsets recoup their the associated with marketing them globally. More GSM users=economies of scale. THAT's why GSM carriers get the good stuff.

CDMA is the miniority.

Only " 330 million CDMA2000 and 50 million 1xEV-DO users by the end of 2006.”

Compared to this many worldwide GSM users:
Global GSM users 1.5 billion

GSM might be better in some abstract sense, but out in rural South Dakota, we only have CDMA carriers, so the debate is relatively pointless for me to engage in.
