Why are CDMA phones uglier?

why are the cdma phones the uglier phones? honestly, the gsm nokia flips look way better, as well as the motorola's and samsungs. why is this?

This isnt bashing or anything, i'm jsut realy curious as to why the antenna's are cheaper, the phones are bigger, and they dont have cool styling?

check out the nokia 6155i, the moto e815, a840, the ugly lg's, and a few sammy's. they really arent as cool as the comparable gsm phones. why is that? do cdma phones require more hardware or somethin?

I guess because a lot of the GSM phones that are built are designed for Europe and Asia where looks play a more important part to people. That is the only thing I can think of. You are right, the CDMA phones made for the U.S. especially are uglier.

Cmon springaf- everyone knows you're a Cingular fanboy. No wonder you're sufferin' from GSM 'Fanboy-O-Vision'. 🤭

Next up on Fanboy-O-Vision: The RAZR comes out for Verizon, and cingular/gsm fanboys who crowed about how it great looked before suddenly pronounce it ugly.

I remember most Verizon "fanboys" calling the RAZR cheap, garbage, and a waste of money. Now that they will be able to get their hands on it, most of them are counting down the days until they can.

Honestly, I don't think the Cingular fanboys will be pronouncing it as ugly, just old.

Memory serves me right I think the worst thing Verizon folk commonly said about the RAZR was that it was overpriced. Which it was when it first came out. Not any longer.

It was actually a vocal minority of cingular guys who after awhile started calling it junk and compared it unfavorably to other phones in their lineup. They would whine and moan about its lack of feautures for the money or somesuch crap. Now that the phone is coming to Verizon I'd expect the majority to join them.

It is junk though. I can't wait til it gets to Verizon so it can leave the lineup sooner and get replaced with something possibly worthwhile.
