:Is GSM to blame here, or something else? I'll admit, I'm not really a fan of GSM networks around here - have had several people's calls just drop for no apparent reason when they're using GSM phones; T-Mobile or AT&T. Even worse when on the edge of coverage, it seems far less reliable than CDMA, especially in "fringe" areas.
Never had an issue w/my CDMA phone, even at large events like Lollapalooza last year (sponsored by AT&T) - granted, Chicago is also 'home turf' to my carrier, U.S. Cellular
You're not too far off on the distance thing, GSM has a 22 mile hard limit on signal, but CDMA has no such limit and can travel further, people have reported getting CDMA at 30 miles+.
