Alltell is all CDMA. They have acquired a couple companies that were GSM,
but they pretty quickly migrate custoemrs to CDMA handsets and replace the
equipment at the towers.
Alltel/Verizon/Sprint = CDMA (no SIM cards)
AT&T Wireless/Cingular and T-Mobile = GSM (SIM cards)

I think the Alltel network around us is all GSM based which would mean, I
would assume, that we could load a SIM card into any unlocked GSM device
and use it on their network. Any reason why I might be wrong with this
thinking? Anyone ever load a SIM card from an unlocked device for use on
their home GSM network (be it Cingular or other)?

What SSH client are you using? (And does the keyboard actually have a
Ctrl key?)
It's likely I'll still be stuck with a Blackberry because of cell
coverage, sadly. (Around here, the best coverage by far is Alltel, who
recently bought out local company First Cellular; AT&T/Cingular has, by
most accounts, pretty iffy coverage. And Alltel is all about the
Blackberry. Either that or the Moto Q.)
I'll look into that one, though. Thanks for the reassurance that my idea
isn't totally nuts. :)
