Wonderful article about GSM and CDMA from Gizmodo. http://gizmodo.com/5637136/. Educate yourself if you want to feel less overwhelmed by the carriers, plans, phones, etc.
Also, while I respect this article: http://www.tipb.com/2010/09/14/iphone-android-carriers-wrong-wrong-fight/ it's a bit too Apple/iPhone fanboyish for my tastes. It fails to recognize the power and influence of radio/chipset manufacturers as well as the carrier/customer equipment subsidy business model that has entrenched itself in the US/NA market. I still talk to people that balk at $100 or $200 for a phone, even a high-end HTC or iPhone—so don't completely blame Google in the Nexus One situation. To that point, just because they stopped the Nexus One before introducing a similar situation with another phone doesn't mean they won't but would I have I liked to have seen a longer effort, yeah sure.
