Re: Can someone explain the difference between a GSM phone and a GSM capable phone?
Thanks Jellz,
Since I was having such a tough time getting a straight answer from him, I rephrased my question like this: "If I'm in Europe and I have my choice to have an AT&T GSM phone with me or a Verizon phone that supports GSM, which one will be better?" and he responded that the AT&T phone would be much better. When I asked him why, we started going in circles again... so I'm not actually sure he knew what he was talking about... but if he IS right that the AT&T phone would be better to have, then I want to understand what I gain with a native GSM phone that I don't get with a CDMA phone from Verizon that supports GSM.
