GSM or CDMA?

This topic, while being discussed many times every year is still of interest because how segregated a market it creates.  Whether your a GSM junkie or CDMA fanboy, when ever the topic of GSM vs. CDMA come up you can guarantee that there will be a very heated debate afterwards as both camps have fiercely loyal members.  Each camp will claim superiority and that they are a better solution for world communication.  What camp do I associate with?  I will come right out in the beginning and say that I have a thing for GSM.  Why?  One of the biggest reason’s is SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards.  They make life so much easier.  You never have to worry about calling someone to activate a your phone.  You just swap the sim and go.  It makes having more than one phone such as one for work and another for weekends feasible.  CDMA doesn’t do this.  It requires you to call your service provider and have them activate it.  A hassle to say the least.  Another reason is GSM has a much larger selection of handsets to choose from, and being a tech junky, I love choices!
