Look here man:

There are at least 10 GSM devices for every CDMA device on that list (probably even more). You want to talk exclusives, that is just the facts there. Now, tell me, how can you look at that list and say you have an open mind, and yet claim CDMA is even in the same stratosphere when it comes to the number of smartphones- let alone actually claiming they get more. Utterly ridiculous.

For the last time. I am referring to the US market. Say it with me, U-N-I-T-E-D S-T-A-T-E-S. If the question were "Are you willing to go to a different country to get XX phone or are you willing to get raped on the price you pay to import a phone with no US 3G support?" then you'd have a point.

No 3G support? I thought you can easily get 3G support when you've gone to other countries. I've read that numerous times.

he means importing a phone into the US in which you wont get 3g support. which is true.

I'm referring to an overseas device used here in the states. Most all of them DO NOT SUPPORT either the 3G bands used here. The HD2 for instance, uses 2100MHz and 900MHz for 3G. However, AT&T is either 850MHz or 1900MHz 3G and T-Mob is 1700MHz. So, sure, you could import the device, but you aren't going to get anything faster than EDGE.

And again, say it with ME here- MOST OF THEM HAVE 3G IN THE USA.

I don't have to go to country X, I just have to go to ebay. 100% of them work with voice and EDGE, and probably better than 90% of them work with 3G too.

The fact that you are arguing against this just shows who really has an open mind here.

It's only been recently that devices stopped having USA 3G support. And I mean very recently- as in the Touch Pro was the first HTC device that didn't have it.

And that's not an issue now anyway, since AT&T is now using the same 3G bands as Australia. So just about every device on that list works on AT&T's 3G, with maybe a handful that don't.

You can't grasp this, but it doesn't change the fact- GSM gets way better, and way more devices than CDMA. Period. And the LTE versus WiMax will be MUCH worse, because at least CDMA had some other major carriers besides Sprint.

You can't disagree with a guy arguing for GSM who is on a CDMA network.

GSM will always dominate the market because technology comes first out of the rest of the world, dominated by GSM.
