CDMA is good for data, but how is CDMA for voice quality? I never used CDMA phones.
If CDMA doesnt offer much difference compared to GSM in voice, then good move by Reliance to free CDMA spectrum.

CDMA is great for voice at least here in India because most congestion is on GSM networks.

Reliance Communications is undergoing a new round of restructuring, aimed at separating the mobile phone major's growing GSM business from the lagging CDMA operations, which could even be sold off at a later stage to pare debt.

CDMA has its limitations but better than GSM in terms of Voice clarity, Network

Yup. Poor handsets basically killed it for us folks who prefer it over GSM. I had a pretty hateful argument with a douchebag who called me from the Tata Indicom retention department. I clearly told him that I have switched completely to my GSM Android phone. He said: Sarr... We have HTC One... You should buy it from us and use it with this Tata Indicom number. Just Rs. 45000. I yelled out some more profanities. His response: Sarr... If Rs. 45000 is too much, we also have cheaper Android phones starting at just Rs. 6000. I yelled out some more profanities and cut the line.
