Where do you see CDMA? It says it was launched overseas and most "overseas" is GSM. The US is about the only area that uses primarily CDMA.

False:
South Korea, which has arguably the most advanced cellular network in the world uses

Also, Japan, which also has an excellent network has a FOMA network, a CDMA variant.

Not saying GSM or CDMA is better, they both have engineering trade offs.

With that being said, I hope this comes to Sprint right after they implement R-UIM

You are right but u missed some details,
In South Korea all operators use both CDMA 1XEVDO and WCDMA.
In Japan, KDDI uses CDMA 1X EVDO and NTTDocomo uses FOMA(WCDMA variant).

is sprint implementing R-UIM for its CDMA network?????

Ok ok you win on the detail front, just didn't feel like typing that much.

As far as Sprint and R-UIM, IN MY DREAMS. Seriously, I doubt the company that wont even activate a phone that doesnt say "Sprint" on it will ever implement R-UIM, but man if they did I would be in heaven!

Why wouldn't a company want to do that? I mean one of the huge features (to me, at least) about GSM is the SIM swapping. Wouldn't you think Sprint would want to say "look, faster speeds, better voice AND you can do what they do?!". Seems like a clear business decision to me.

Curious to see what you think jfjhong

I TOTALLY agree, in fact most CDMA carries in asia have already implemented the R-UIM card. It is a great feature, it would be nice to have it on CDMA phones but i guess most people can live without it.
