Getting back on track -

If it's a CDMA module, then it's probably a R-UIM card, which is like a SIM card but for CDMA

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-ruim-card.htm tells the story. This page has links to explain SIM cards too. Just trying to be helpful.

Speaking of power and processors - someone might want to consider - faster CPUs get things done more quickly. Everything else being equal, less "on time", less power. I'm not sure everything is equal, since energy rises with frequency (if I remember some old science class correctly), but then one of you said smaller is better, so maybe the speed thing matters somewhat for CPU intensive certain tasks.
