    CDMA and WCDMA are not the same technology. Moreover, not only are they incompatible technologies, but even if they were compatible, Sprint will not activate non-Sprint phones.

    WCDMA is also known as UMTS. Cingular is deploying it in the US, but it's not official yet. There are some carriers in Europe that have it running already though.

    None in the US, only the European/Asian carriers use that frequency for WCDMA/UMTS.

    We need a huge sticky in this forum, in giant red letters that says "Sprint will not activate non Sprint phones."
    Current device: White 16GB Samsung Galaxy SIII
    THE RULES!
