It depends. How many years after the original flight did the return
take place?

Actually, that is not necessarily true. GSM is an TDMA based
technology, just like IS-136 which is commonly known as TDMA in the
United States and Canada. GSM generally has better battery life than
IS-136 TDMA phones that are comparable.

Also, since CDMA2000 specifications are not the basis of W-CDMA/HSDPA
specifications, it would stand to reason that things will not be all
equal between the two.
