specs don't show it to be a world phone.

well thats not exactly true because wimax is world wide... it would be data only but it would be possible to use a voip over that

If there is no CDMA signal there would be no WIMAX, WiFi ftw!

this is not true Wimax is not dependent on cdma coverage at all !! they are two totally different wireless standards!!

but if i want to pop in a sim card in say, taiwan, like the TP2, then no, it's a no go.

sadly the Evo most likely won't be a world phone, it would of topped the cake if it were capable though... gotta love the TP2 for being a world phone, but the TP2 has it because it's more of a business oriented phone.

sure, maybe it's possible when calls go over wimax, but that possibility is still years away and a lot of places won't be getting wimax for a long time if it's not a big city. personally i think all the new high end phones from sprint should have a GSM/WCDMA radio.

The evo isn't a world phone nor is the incredible.

The chipset used in the phone has support for all bands but unless sprint put a sim card slot in the phone and the necessary hardware for the radio to work it will be CDMA only.

It uses the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ QSD8650 (1GHz) processor...
