Convinces me.
A bit of bad news, since I plan to use my X5 traveling the West this Summer, and that's the area where GSM has poor coverage, compared to CDMA (Montana, Idaho, Nevada, etc.)
From the maps I've gotten, it appears GSM is better than CDMA in a few, select areas (such as Northern Wisconsin/UP), about the same from the Missouri river East, and quite lacking in areas like South Dakota. Although in those areas of poor coverage, they do seem to concentrate on the Interstates.
Makes me glad I've got a Verizon phone as a backup...
