On September 26th 2005 Microsoft, Palm and Verizon held a joint press conference to announce the new Windows Mobile Treo (no formal name given) during the press conference it was stated that Verizon will have (paid for) a 6 month exlcusive on the new Treo for WM. This means no other carrier either CDMA or GSM will be able to sell the Treo for WM until the exclusive is up. Since Verizon and Sprint do not allow each others phones to be activated on their networks (unlike GSM carriers who accept unlocked phones) you won't see Sprint with this until Mid 2006. GSM won't show up until after mid 2006 or later.

GSM and CDMA (not a tech junkie) but simply put they are not the same and you can use a CDMA phone on GSM and vice versa.
