[citation][nom]Uberragen21[/nom]It's not Verizon's fault, it's the design of the phone that uses GSM rather than CDMA. Verizon uses CDMA, which is an older technology. But a phone of this caliber is a disgrace on AT&T's horrible network. I have Verizon and a Samsung Charge. I've clocked my fastest 4G download speeds of 20 Mbps. AT&T's fastest 4G in the country was recorded at a meager 2.5 Mbps. Pretty sad really...[/citation]
CDMA is not older than GSM, GSM is older. CDMA is cheaper to implement in terms of hardware and can carry in theory more calls with the same equipment. In theory GSM should have provided better call quality and it's also the standard the entire world pretty much adopted. Mind you there was TDMA and AM prior to both standards. In any case, everything is moving to LTE and eventually CDMA and GSM were supposed to converge in later standards.
