Their notes about the average quality of CDMA versus GSM is interesting. The article states that GSM is not as efficient, and therefore requires more towers than CDMA for equivalent call quality. But that would be resolved if GSM were the dominant standard, which it is not, in the US. Market forces at work, I suppose.
Still, hard to decide: cool phone... good quality...
