I'm confused...why would I wait for Best Buy's unlocked 3G version? Sprint is a CDMA network, and as I understand it 3G = GSM. Same thing with the Touch HD (looks beautiful, btw). It's supposed to be 3G, so how can people mention that and Sprint and/or Verizon? Am I missing something there?
But by that reasoning, since the iPhone is 3G we should be able to use it with Verizon. Obviously, though, we cannot since the iPhone is a GSM phone. So how can anyone here look at or hear about a 3G phone and automatically know it is GSM, CDMA, or both?
3g on tmo and att is hsdpa, umts (gsm), and on sprint and verizon its evdo. knowing what company the handset is registered for lets you know what type of 3g it has...
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

3g doesnt equal GSM
Verizon and Sprint are on EV-DO which is also 3g.
3g is a type of network found on both EVDO and GSM
