Re: what is the difference between gsm and wcdma?
WCDMA = HSPA = 3G GSM - the worldwide device, tri/quad -band, SIM cards, ATT/US t-mobile
CDMA = sprint/VZW, basically US only, available sept/november.

Theres 4 devices people are interested in. GSM diamond, GSM touch pro, CDMA diamond, CDMA touch pro. only 1 (GSM diamond) is really available, GSM touch pro is im not sure, CDMA diamond looks to be sept 2, and CDMA pro looks to be october/november.

Almost all of the current confusion comes from not having known codenames for each of the 4, just diamond/raphael codenames (which dont seperate out radio versions. Think Apache vs Wizard. Mostly the same phone, just easy to ID as GSM or CDMA based on the name.)
