Smile Uk Version

Looking into getting a diamond off of ebay!

Now looking at flashing and stuff, I realize that there are two (?) main versions of the phone.
Am I right in thinking that?

I also understand that one of these versions is called CDMA and the other GSM?

So could anyone tell me what version a diamond from the UK would be? Im pretty sure it would be a GSM?

And are ROMs dependant on the version of phone you have, or is it just the setting up of the phone eg . Hardspl and Radio?

And one more thing, has any one got a link explaining what all these terms mean in detail?

Cheers for the help guys.

Tom

Re: Uk Version

YES, roms are dependent on the version of the phone.. GSM roms are for only GSM phones and will not work on CDMA and vice versa.. you can't buy a GSM phone and expect to get it working on a CDMA US network...
