>>plain vanilla cdma cannot compete aginst that. Its over game set and match.<< Not quite. Multi mode chip handsets that can roam on all networks are the future. Garbage will be full of sim cards. That's when it's game over.

His US cdma handest is useless. And even if it wasn't he would use it becuase with the gsm SIM he calls at Chinese cheap rates and no roaming charges. About 18 months ago, I looked into buying a "worldwind" phone from China Unicom. These are combo GSM and CDMA capable and come with two SIM/RUIM slots. Ideally you would be able to plug in a Chinese CDMA ruim card for use there, a GSM SIM card where needed, and use it for CDMA in the US. Sprint told me unless the phone has a Sprint logo on it, they won't activate it for their network - even though that Samsung model SCH-A790 is actually sold by Sprint.
