EDIT: My bad, they are talking about storm on GSM. I just get very fustrated with people not getting that CDMA has been "3g" (which, BTW, many people just throw around there and it really means 3rd generation and often it is referring to the model and not the frequency) forever and a day. GSM is slower than CDMA, it is just newer.

GAHHHH

We seriously need a darn KB here that your required to look through.

3g = Rev A = CDMA > EVDO not EDGE

CDMA > GSM

GSM is SLOWER, yes SLOWER than CDMA, CDMA technology has been around longer.

Shag this, I am going to msg a mod to see if I can get some support for a KB here. Just a whole glossary people can search.

In the meantime, WIKI PEOPLE CDMA2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is your tantrum for? What he said is not incorrect. And he did answer the OP's question.

ummmm edge and 3g are 2 different things... i am not sure why you are trying to call me out and EVDO is verizon speak for 3g

[Sith_Apprentice]

EvDO = 3G CDMA
1x RTT = 2G CDMA

3G (HSPA/HSDPA/UMTS) = 3G GSM
EDGE = 2G GSM
GPRS = 1.5G GSM

its ok, some people have their panties in a bunch...
