"When you say that one digital technology is better than another, it implies that it squeezes more information into the same bandwidth."Also there is a difference in tolerance to noise and other users. It's a signal quality concern. There's also the consideration of how and whether, or not, digital modes can be used.

I noticed when I switched from analog to digital the the signal is now all or nothing, whereas before the signal degraded gracefully. Whatever the differences in technology, I notice that my son's Sprint phone has far more dropouts than my Cingular, in the same area.
