I was wondering why the GSM blackberrys are always nicer/constructed better than their CDMA counterparts?
CDMA never got a phone as nice as the 9000 bold. Even now that CDMA has a bold 9650 , the 9700 looks sleeker, and is just a nicer phone overall
Any ideas?
Thats because 80% of the world uses GSM phones so there's a bigger customer base for phone manufacturers sell to when they build GSM devices. I believe Sprint and Verizon are the last two major CDMA carriers in the world. These two CDMA carriers are also a part of the problem because they could do a better job picking better devices when they strike exclusive deals.

You can travel outside the country with GSM and still talk unlike CDMA phones and with RIM such a huge player in the business industry a lot of people need that when traveling.

Good point, I actually feel fortunate to have picked up both. the EVO 4 & Bold 9650 from Sprint. Totally satisfied with Sprint but for the last several month's the phone selection has been terrible.
