Re: Throwing Dirt at Each Other said by tiger72:said by Matt:I base this on our CTO who was just in Europe and Asia with his plain old Verizon Motorola Q9c ... he had service everywhere he went. Then he didn't go to Western or Mediterranean Europe. Even the CDMA Development Group website shows no CDMA service throughout most of Europe. I don't know my European Geography well enough to place exactly where he went, but he noted that as long as he stayed in urban areas, his phone worked fine. China has full CDMA coverage.
Here is the map you're referring to: »www.cdg.org/roaming/general_info···rage.asp
So yes, that section of Europe has not been covered. There's a lot more blue on that map than there is on the T-Mobile or AT&T 3G map however, which was my original point.

That CDG map indicates 2g or 3g CDMA. Not just 3g.
Moreover, that includes "trials".

Oh, and the few deployments in Europe are on a band not supported by the phone. The Q 9c is only 800/1900, while the deployment in Portugal and Ireland are 450mhz, for example.
I'm actually not aware of any 450/800/1900 CDMA phones.
When it comes down to it, GSM is deployed in every country on the planet. CDMA sees no use in some of our biggest trading partners (like Germany, France, Australia, UK, etc.) Moreover, UMTS/WCDMA is being deployed on top of CDMA in China, Japan, Canada, and Mexico - some of CDMA2000's biggest supporters until now.
