My Verdict

LUCK-o-IRISH

May 4, 2005, 7:21 AM
I have tried every cell car. i could ATT, TMOBILE, NEW CINGULAR, ALLTEL, NEXTEL, SPRINT, AND VERIZON.

And I would say with out a doubt that GSM SUCKS HANDS DOWN

Call quality is horrible, but what do you expect from a cheap technology?

Alltel/Verizon are top chrystal clear, and cdma is a much better technology .... and commom you can't even compare EDGE to EV-DO

Sprint is clear .... but common they coverage sucks .... somthing about this 1900 only companies like sprint and tmobile ... when are they going to relize that 1900 only just isn't cutting it?

I have both GSM and CDMA and I have to say that I do like GSM slightly better (mainly because of the phone selection). The call quality is very similar in my market.

But I will agree with you, EVDO blows EDGE away.

EVDO is completely different than EDGE...you want to compare UMTS with EVDO. Nice try....

Second, GSM doesnt suck...I have GSm and works GREAT. my brother had a hard time telling if I was on a landline or my cell when I call....and he works for Verizon. Just because GSM sucks in your area, saying the technology sucks and is cheap is rediculous. Is it fair to say if im in a non-verizon covered area to say Verizon sucks with cheap technology?1 ok then...try again.

yea, i agree. i dont like GSM at all and i think its not as good as CDMA is. i wouldnt say GSM is a cheap technology, becuase it is used worldwide and providers who set up GSM has a nice size wallet.

but yea, CDMA is a lot better then GSM.

you cant compare edge/gprs to ev-do. thats obvious.

omg....why do you people compare the wrong types of technology. GPRS/EDGE arent even CLOSE to the same speeds. "Gee, this Corvette cant even compare to this Pinto, Ford must really suck"

DUH!

I would say that you have never used GSM then. I've never met one person who said that Verizon had better voice quality than anyone. I've heard many people say it was crystal clear, but I've heard and experienced GSM having better quality than even landline phones. And you are misinformed about GSM being a "cheap" technology. One of the selling points for CDMA vendors is the "cookie cutter" cheapness of the networks. GSM networks are usually more expensive and have higher costs to run. So, I'd say you were getting your information from third party sour...

CDMA voice quality varies depending on the number of people using their phones at any given time because of the technology. In my market, Verizon has not been setting their cutoff high enough on the number of people that can simultaneously talk at the same time, resulting in garbled calls (during hours of high use).
EV-DO is better than EDGE though. Both technologies have plusses and minuses.
