The gsm sim speeds are no where as good as CDMA based connections, they are also more prone to drops. I have no idea of 3g speeds and all that i know is that 3g is fairly expensive. If you travel to places which have cdma connectivity then its better to stick to that - gsm is really a back up for places where cdma has not reached, and if you have a sim that doubles up as a phone number then its a good back up. The plans for CDMA are way better Ram _________________________________________________________<http://www.munsiari.com> Amazing Indians: Transforming lives in the hills<http://www.timesnow.tv/Amazing-Indians-Transforming-lives-in-the-hills/videoshow/4383022.cms>
