wishes of course but time will tell, and since the spec's for all carriers I have seen are so far almost exactly alike im hopeful

I think U have it twisted. CDMA phones will not work on GSM network and vice versa. Bcoz they have different radio frequency. Once U have unlock the GSM side of the CDMA/GSM aka world phone, U can only put a sim in there and use it for a GSM carrier like T-mo and ATT. The reason TP2 have 2 radios(CDMA/GSM) is for business people that travels a lot outside the country. This is how it's done. They can ask Spint for an International SIM card. If they use that Sim card outside the country. It will use a GSM network on that country. Then that GSM company will charge Sprint for the usage. Then sprint will charge U for it. It will be useless to do that inside the US coz U have the CDMA radio. Other Countries don't.
