I'm not sure but...
I haven't heard of any phone able to switch between CDMA and GSM. Usually, dual-mode and tri-mode refers to the ability to access two or three different types of GSM networks: 900, 1800 and 1900.

AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile all use the GSM standard and I can already roam from one network to the other. I don't see how they can prevent me from keeping my phone when switching. If it works when I roam, I should be working when I am a customer...

Requiring that a CDMA phone works in a GSM network or viceversa is silly to me. Do we expect that program written for Windows run on Mac or Linux?
Do we expect that an electronic device bought here in the US can be effortlessly plugged in the Italian or French power sockets?
