Thanks.

In very simple terms.
Verizon and Sprint use CDMA
T-Mobile and AT&T use GSM
Most of the world uses GSM, while most of North America uses CDMA.
If you want world access you might want to consider an AT&T or T-Mobile Galaxy Tab.
At the moment AT&T has better international rates, but rumor has it T-Mobile will provide some very good international plan during the holiday season.
If you want more details I recommend you visit a phone site like crackberry.com or Androidcenteral, XDA developers and pose this question.
