    You could always use it as a prize like gadgetzone

    Win a worthless CDMA mobile!
    Yes, we’ve pulled out all the stops over at gadget zone to obtain a brilliant slightly used Kyocera KOI CDMA mobile phone to give away!

    This is a mobile that money just can’t buy anymore. It comes packed with a 1.2MP camera, 16MB of internal memory, a number pad and a chunky antenna. Amazingly, there’s also a colour screen.

    You've only got NextG, 3G and GSM now.
    Pretty sure there is 0% of cdma as telstra was the only one running that.

    Arent the US still running CDMA for one of their carriers, maybe flog them over there!

    Cant remember which carrier it is, but I'm pretty sure one does.

    Update: It was Verizon, also Sprint uses it

    I can confirm a sprint cdma (pcs) phone works in thailand on hutch, as does a telstra cdma.

    but you won't get a non usa cdma phone connected to any network in the usa (same as telstra used to be with cdma).

    hutch in thailand, nio problem. you can buy a hutch thailand prepaid starter pack to connect any cdma phone(assuming it is not locked).
