Re: Coworker reports 7ma saving in CDMA only mode (better battery life??)
As someone above stated, it only attempts to use GSM when it can't pickup a CDMA signal.
Even when you are in CDMA only mode and it can't find coverage, it nags you to enable Global mode.
There is probably no difference in battery life unless your phone keeps losing the network.

That said, I have had some really weird stuff happen to my phone when in Global mode.
The time would randomly switch to GMT and make GPS show me in an ocean.
So from now on I keep it on CDMA only unless I am outside of the US.
