Probably an EASY question, CDMA?

Hi all..
I'm with "Bell Mobility" here in Canada, and I just asked some service rep off their website what phones are compatible with their network because I wanted to buy a nice phone online (Their in-store ones cost an arm and a leg, or they suck)

He told me CDMA is what they use, not SIM CARDS

I was looking at buying the Nokia 6230, but the specs say GSM I think

Is this compatible with my network? If not, what full featured cell phone (that wont break the bank) would you guys reccomend for CDMA?

*hoping that this 6230 will be fine*

thanks guys.

Sanyo 7300 currently on their site is probably the best phone they carry at this time. Sanyos are rated very high for Customer Satisfaction by JD Power & Assoc. in 2004, and the 7300 is well equipped.

Sprint cannot be used in canada.And you can only use verizon if you get the phone unlocked.
