No its not. People, CDMA AND {GSM} use 2 frequencies not to mention the way the communicate is very different.

The part number is wrong. You must mean 6233i. (Other candidates are the 6280 and 6680.)

It's not clear to me that Bell would subsidy lock the GSM part. I suggest taking your 6233i to the GSM provider you favor and see what can be done.

I can't speak for other countries but in the US GSM and CDMA use the exact same spectrum. It just depends on with which tech the carrier builds out on it.

You may want to edit that from GPS to GSM

No there isn't. Doesn't mean you need to get testy about it.

redmo: Welcome to HoFo! Your idea of modifying a CDMA handset to become a GSM isn't economically viable at end-user level than simply buying a compatible GSM handsets for EMEA markets. It's not simply involving swap a few parts but the fundamentally different in operations.
