>Isn't WCDMA a hybrid GSM/cdma network, as opposed to CDMAone? Doesn't GSM use TDMA? Or have I got this all wrong?<

It looks like the spin doctors have been very effective. GSM is a pure TDMA system and WCDMA is a pure CDMA system. It's actually not that much different from CDMA2000 on the air interface side (which is all CDMA and TDMA refer to).

The WCDMA camp continues to portray WCDMA as a hybrid GSM/CDMA network but I think it is no more so than the Q's CDMA GSM overlay.
