If you want the ability to swap your phone anytime with a simcard yea, go with att
but if you want good signal outside of the major cities and highways, stick with cdma

@jb, hey moron. With Verizon you can go on their website and log into your account and swap esn’s all day long. Takes less than 2 minutes. Learn something about what you’re talking about before you start typing and make yourself look like an idiot. Also, if you call customer service, it only takes 5 minutes. A sim card may be quicker, but an hour to change an esn? Get a life.

It’s about time something official has come out… my Cox tech rep told me about this at least 6 months ago, and from what I was told… they will be carrying BlackBerry phones… not sure which device, but I was assured BlackBerry was going to be in the line-up… well looks like something else I’ll be adding to my Cox Bundle!!!

CDMA sucks, if I need to change phones I want swap my sim, I rather have a root canal than talk with Kiki for an hour to swap my ESN. There is a reason 90% of the world uses GSM. Make SIM CDMA phones and I would consider big red or maybe even Cox, till then bye bye Kiki

@Ken – read up on what LTE is: voice and data.
That being said I don’t see CDMA going any where for quite some time.

LTE is for high speed data. CDMA for voice won’t be shut down anytime soon.

2 years from now if Sprint is one of the top 2 carriers like I predict, then I want a cookie.

If not, I imagine I’ll be a Verizon customer via buyout.

I really don’t want to express too much fanboy-ism, but I’m a Sprint fan.

(Don’t hurt me backbeat, I’m actually probably your only fan)

@ Orga
You need to say don’t follow in Sprints footsteps.

CDMA would not be a wise choice to build in this day in time. Verizon will shut down there CDMA network after LTE is finshed, which won’t take long. As Verizon is the largest network, there going to need to count on Sprint which is not good in Rural areas.

Quadruple play? Clearly, if Cox enters this market, it’s going to be the Home Run Package.

Also, if they come CDMA/EV-DO, Don’t follow in VZW’s footsteps.

Wow, bye bye Cox. Following in Sprints footsteps before they even roll out.

They’re deploying a CDMA/EVDO network, first buildouts will be in areas where Cox is the main cable company.

Well, it appears that one of the big 4 is close to falling as it is now.

Whoa! Ummm… Are they going to be a GSM carrier?

The marketplace seems a bit overcrowded already. I’m suprised one of the big 4 haven’t already fallen. More competition means better prices for all I suppose.
