Hello @Alex in Korea? :-)
From experience of using EVDO data ( Orange ) it definately has superior VOIP quality. Infact, GSM data VOIP is a let down, for some reason the codecs do not relay carrier quality VOIP. Never bothered as to why, since Orange EVDO to me seems to hold it better. On data services, the cells also perform better and are persistent to large data push/pull scenarios while GSM saturate much quicker. I've not gone deep minto the why's due to lack of time but yeah, that's my experience.
I think the only reason for CDMA phone technology not to be too successful is due to handsets limitations. CDMA smart phones are also not too many nor diverse. Rgds. :-) me thots...

Invite him ASAP. And tell him we always have refreshments (chai, mandazi, samosa, ...), he shouldn't pull off the stunt at $afcom's AGM! 8~) --- On Fri, 11/6/09, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote: From: Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] [ke-internetusers] Forward: Is CDMA cell phone technology already dying? ---request for members' views To: "Skunkworks Forum" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Friday, November 6, 2009, 9:08 PM On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 11:18 AM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
