    If it's true that Indians frequently change carriers then a CDMA-only iPhone may not help Apple much because the phone would be incompatible with all the GSM carriers. I don't think they will truly crack the Indian market until the iPhone works on both GSM and CDMA networks.

    Then how did the CDMA carriers in India get 134 million customers? I don't think they've been selling phones with GSM capabilities, but maybe I'm wrong.
