Again, CDMA is by FAR the "minority" spec, worldwide. Most US carriers never bothered upgrading their infrastructure, although they ARE working on it. And when they switch, you'll be the one who has to change phones. Either way, though, most cell carriers in the US treat people fairly horribly. The aforementioned phone-locking, for one. Charging for incomming SMS/MMS and phonecalls is also something that doesn't happen other places. I'm glad you're happy with your phone and service, and I'm not at all trying to get you to switch or anything. Nowhere in the conversation was anything like that mentioned. But when you say GSM is the minority and that you can switch CDMA phones between providers, sorry but that's just not true. --
