Yep you got it.... world coverage includes all the countries of the

BTW I hear that Iraq also now uses CDMA (some senator shoe-horned it
into a funding bill for the war that they had to use CDMA to 'support
usa businesses'), of course that means that they now use a different
handset type to all of their neighbours....... though I hear Iran will
also be forced to implement CDMA once they are 'liberated' which should
be any day now :)
That doesn't mean that GSM towers won't be built, it just means that the CDMA
towers will be there first.
I dunno; GSM 3G is all CDMA tech anyway.
Yes, but it is a standard agreed upon by a large number of carriers
around the world.
Once CDMA has gone the way of the dodo in North America, I really will
miss one of my favourite scenes:-
Visiting Brit steps off plane and checks phone for messages...
Puzzled look appears as they ask "Why doesn't my phone work? It worked
fine in France/Italy/Germany/Timbuktu."
You start to explain about CDMA and their eyes open wide as they realize
they have just stepped back into the cellular stone age...

Drew
