And anyway, a CDMA-only phone can do international plenty of international roaming in China, India, Japan and South Korea.
Verizon says about 40 countries for CDMA roaming. Also includes much of South America and the Caribbean. Europe only has Ukraine for CDMA roaming, per Verizon's web site.
That's vs. over 200 countries for GSM roaming. Note that both China and India have GSM carriers. (My family has had local SIM cards in both countries.) Probably most of South America and the Caribbean too. Japan and Korea are unusual for international roaming as many of their carriers don't follow anyone else's standards.
If you want to travel internationally, outside of Japan and Korea, GSM is the way to go.
