Motorola V710
Jump to GSM?
I question why people keep talking about goiong to get the V600 and going to AT&T or Cingular. If GSM was the way to go right now those companies would not be jumping to WCDMA. The technology just isn't where it is and the coverage of these companies still aren't there. There were over 4 million people that went from GSM to Verizon this year, why would you go the wrong way. I just don't get it.

Funny, I'm the guy doing the opposite. I've been with T-Mobile for a year and sick of waiting for them to get the mediocre V600. But with all the delays, I can wait one more week for a waaaay better phone.
Leaving GSM's great sound quality for CDMA is the only downside, but after using GSM in the Bay Area since it's inception in 1998 and having seen little improvement in coverage and quality, I'm going to Verizon. My wife is on it Verizon and gets great reception everywhere.
Outside of Washington, D.C., I have yet find a good GSM signal through out. Now there, it rocked!

Actually CDMA also sounds better as the technology is higher end. Unless your wife has a bad phone you should be able to tell the difference.

Interesting because I've been told numerous times one my GSM phone (when I have a good signal) that it sounds like I'm on a landline. I've never got that from CDMA.
My wife has a good Motorola and it does sound good, but I can still tell I'm on a cell phone. So, I do hear a slight difference, but not as bad as it use to sound back in the mid '90's. I'm convinced enough to leave GSM.

It's the phone, not the network.
