Correction 3G is based on both the GSM & CDMA standard. The CDMA in the nominclature relates to technologies currently in use with CDMA, although most of the codecs and structure of the network (Base Station, GGSN, SGSN, iHLR, VLR, etc) is a Hardware & software upgrade to any GSM/GPRS/EDGE core network. You'll notice that the SIM cards are at a different standard 64 vs 32. Also you'll notice the band in Europe is much higher 2100Mhz, but that has to do more with spectrum that anything else as here in North America it works on existing GSM networks. (take caution not to state that Cingular's network began with GSM core as it didnt, like AT&T it was originally on TDMA just like Rogers here in Canada.).
I didnt say that WCDMA had to do with Sprint (not Spring, typo of course), & Verizon. I stated "You cannot separate 3G from Qualcomm or WCDMA/UMTS no matter how you slice it; you'll notice that CDMA is in the nominclature WCDMA as its officialy written W-CDMA." HSDPA is NOT a patent that Qualcomm holds if I'm not mistaken.
The photo of this device being claimed to debut on Vodafone which has a W-CDMA network, should NOT be having a battery cover stating "CDMA by Qualcomm". which makes me believe that another proto was meant for the CDMA core networks.
