Re: CDMA is proprietary and has no future. Not worth the effort.

Verizon/Sprint are already deprived of many world phones because the selection of CDMA phones is being reduced. In Canada, Bell/Telus are alreaduy installing GSM/HSPDA overlays because they know CDMA is dead.

Vodephone, part owner of Verizon Wireless has stated it would want Verizon to move to world standard so Verizon can benefit from its ownership and have its customers roam on Verizon when they travel to the USA.

re: value of OEM phones. OEM/unloackled phones are extremely valuable when you travel to get local service instead of having to pay outrageous roaming fees. Can't do that with a locked phone and you have to pay your home network's outrageous roaming fees. non-OEM phones often havce fdeatures disabled, menus changed etc. (not the case for iphone though).
