Being a CDMA user is a bittersweet deal. In the U.S., the two big CDMA carriers (Sprint and Verizon) get a good amount of awesome devices that don’t make it to other carriers. On the flip side, once on those two CDMA carriers, venturing to other carriers globally is an incredibly limited experience. Globally speaking, CDMA is the ugly duckling. GSM and SIM cards rule! For a little while a few years ago, “Global” version of Verizon Wireless (and a few...
In case you haven’t heard, T-Mobile made 900 peoples’ lives a little more bleak today. A new memo sent around the company states that in order to properly realign the company and reposition it as a true contender in the cellular sphere alongside AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, more job cuts would have to be made.

After a failed attempt to swallow up T-Mobile USA, AT&T was forced to hand over $3 billion in cash and dole out spectrum to T-Mobile for the hassle. While the cash exchange has already taken place, additional spectrum (perhaps more valuable) was held up by the FCC, awaiting a final “OK”.
