The CDMA phone of course supports EV-DO data, features speakerphone and microSD slot, and its Bluetooth seems to be capable of audio streaming to various headsets, getting rid of any wires. Support for A2DP is also present, and the music features are expanded with dedicated keys on the front cover.
