@assurant.com | Expected Sprint first
Thought Sprint would be first since they have the WiMAX relationship with Google as well as the largest 3G footprint. |

| Totally irrelevant. HTC makes phones for CDMA and GSM.
The reason this is going to T-Mobile is because Sprint isn't the only company that Google works with- they've also been working very much with T-Mobile USA's parent company. This phone is supposed to be an international launch across T-Mobile International's networks, or so I've heard. |

So, it's not "totally irrelevant" when T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom operate a dozen GSM networks around the globe, and that "GSM is more prevalent worldwide", then is it?

Hingham, MA | Ah, but look at the other global wireless network with a US affiliate, Vodafone (/Verizon Wireless), which has a similar worldwide deal with RIMM for the BlackBerry Thunder- CDMA wasn't an obstacle there. |
