see my phone is a CDMA phone and it gets fucking awesome penetration in malls and parking garages and shit. Places I don't think I've ever seen a GSM phone work. The problem is the same problem mac faces with not having any software for it, it's not as widespread, even if it is better in a lot of ways.
Basically what I am saying is Apple just make a CDMA iPhone.

CDMA basically sucks as a protocol and isn't used outside of the US
most CDMA phones can't even use data and voice connections at the same time

i think it has more to do with the service provider

one of the benefits of verizon in washington dc at least was that verizon had signal repeaters installed in the subway tunnels so their phones were the only ones that worked on the metro

That was true a long time ago, but now CDMA, or rather, WCDMA once it's upgraded, is a far faster data transfer system. To the point where some GSM providers have had to start using it for data. My EVDO connection on my phone is almost as fast as my broadband at home. It's pretty awesome.

verizon has tv channels and shit on their phones now
got data transfer like crazy
everyone has TV channels (except maybe tmobile? i think everyone stopped caring about tmobile). have you seen ATT's new service? On the Vu it more or less acts like a real TV.
Which brings up a question, will they make a TV app for the iPhone? With the SDK out I don't see why the heck not.

I ain't had to deal with cell phones in a long time
verizon was just rolling out the tv shit when I left the company

This has nothing to do with GSM or CDMA and has everything to do with your phone and service provider.
I don't even get why you are discussing "cool" phones based on provider.
Shit I will argue over which is better between Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, Dopod, Blackberry etc... even the iPhone.
But why you argue over phones provided by a service provider is alien to me.
A) Different providers provide different services, for example I can watch the cricket on my phone due to my provider.
Different providers have different levels of coverage depending on where you are. I get around that as whenever my provider doesn't have service it bunny hops onto someone elses network and uses that.
I don't see any reason to argue who is the best network as mine is the best network.

because unless you want to pay a whole bunch of money for an unlocked phone, you are stuck with the phone selection your provider offers.
this confounds me
I've always just bought whatever phone I wanted with whatever functionality I wanted, stuck a SIM card in with the provider I wanted, and BAM, away we go

No no, I get that.
I'm talking about the phone itself and what it is capable of doing.

retail phones are really really expensive though
I dunno, man. Between what I've seen in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines, I sincerely wonder why retail phones in the states are so expensive.
And all these places sell massive varieties/models of phones, too. From the old to a little old and the brand-spanking new.

they're so expensive retail so signing up for a 2 year contract and getting the phone cheap looks so much more appealing
I thought you had a business degree or something

Hey Jim remember that time we were talking about set theory

What you should have done was put it in 95% alcohol to get all of the coke crap out of it
Then in a bowl of rice for a couple of days to get out the rest of the moisture
then try it
Usually they can just transfer data for you when you get a new phone. Doesn't take long either

I used to do this for a living!
look at this shit
CDMA basically sucks as a protocol and isn't used outside of the US

CDMA is used a lot in Korea, as well

verizon tries to put their stupid UI on everything
got data transfer like crazy
they did that for your typical stupid phone user so that when they switch phones they still know what they're doing
it is pretty ugly though
that's silly
who is your cable provider
Which brings up a question, will they make a TV app for the iPhone? With the SDK out I don't see why the heck not.
I ain't had to deal with cell phones in a long time
verizon was just rolling out the tv shit when I left the company
looked pretty cool though
They will soon. They launch that as well as a 3g network this summer. The price is pretty damn attractive.
They also have the coolest phones.

actually we have that voip deal right now
it is pretty sweet

you only gotta buy it once!
