Sprint also uses CDMA.
From the very beginning, everything I read convinced me that it's a superior transmission mode, both for me, the end user, and for the carrier.
As much as heavy-handed regulation makes me cringe, perhaps if we legislated modular rf sections, this would become a non-issue. Phones are small enough for that, now.
- pyre 17y agoTraditionally carriers like Sprint and Verizon, that use CDMA have been the more draconian as far as rules go on their network (e.g. locking down phones, only allowing ringtones through their service, disabling bluetooth OBEX on phones, etc). That's why people tend to see GSM carriers in a better light (also because GSM phones are compatible with carriers around the world).
