Re: My reason for keeping it... The SIM Card

I'll give it to you that cdma is a better signal technology but the massive selection of gsm phones makes it very tough to say that cdma is a clear winner.

Verizons red interface is so backwards that I prefer an occasional dropped call vs. putting up with a terrible interface everyday.

I remember back in the 2g to 3g days, I use to drop calls between handoffs of 2 switches in Detroit. When I was approaching the area, I would just tell the caller I would call them back. But after 3g (vision) got in full switch and Sprint complete it's upgrades, I've not had a dropped call in my metro area since. Matter of fact, last time I had a "signal faded" dropped call, it was in a all metal building where I had 3 bars outside. Other then that, I've been pretty lucky to have had service every place I've been. If 100% service was required, I'd just by a 1500.00 sat phone, pay the 2.50 a minute and make all my calls in the rain. But hey, that big ass antenna looks cool (we have one at work).
