Default MIA: CDMA

Why is it that all the smartphones or PPCPE devices are GSM?! :evil: Is it because the European carriers are a better market, and then the few and geographically challenged GSM carriers in the US also happen to benefit from that?

Is there licensing involved in CDMA that makes it less attractive? Is it more expensive/complicated to engineer? Sprint and Verizon used to be my friends--that has changed until they can ship bluetooth and multiple smartphones to choose from.
