If they plan on dumping CDMA the transitioning period will be filled with a predominantly Chinese phone selection (with some Samsung and LG- those are the only non-Chinese manufacturers making CDMA phones with North America-compatible GSM).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 23rd 2008 3:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Marathon Canadian spectrum auction finally wraps up]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/22/marathon-canadian-spectrum-auction-finally-wraps-up/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/22/marathon-canadian-spectrum-auction-finally-wraps-up/</guid><description><![CDATA[they will be running both]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Riley Freeman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 23rd 2008 9:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Marathon Canadian spectrum auction finally wraps up]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/22/marathon-canadian-spectrum-auction-finally-wraps-up/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/22/marathon-canadian-spectrum-auction-finally-wraps-up/</guid><description><![CDATA[Telus currently runs 2 networks already<br><br><br>CDMA & iDEN.
