<< At least in San Diego and New York (that WSJ article) informal tests have given GSM the best marks. >> I remember the article differently - didn't it relate to the service, not the sound quality? In other words, if a consumer liked the GSM carrier's price plan better than one provided by a CDMA carrier, they gave the GSM plan high marks. Also, the quality of service and sound apparently varied by carrier more than by technology due to the infrastructure put in place by each carrier. To be honest, I doubt the consumer cares which technology is used, as long as the sound quality is acceptable (both are IMHO) and the service is predictable and reliable. Price and reliability are far more important than technology to consumers. As to adoption rates - all other things being equal, I'd guess that whoever achieves dominance in a market first will keep that dominance, regardless of the technology, unless a HUGE cost difference or quality difference is found.
