Difference between iPhone 4, GSM and CDMA?

Hi,

So I see some sites are selling parts for the iPhone 4, that are marked as GSM or CDMA. Is there really a difference in the body parts for the two types of iPhones?

I am specifically looking for a 'home' button for a GSM iPhone 4, and seems like the CDMA should work too, is that right?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

can the iPhone 4s CDMA be converted or changed to GSM when someone relocates to a different country or state?

Based on our part here, it appears that it is compatible. You are correct in assuming that there are some parts that are the same for both the iPhone 4 (GSM) and iPhone 4 (CDMA). However, not all parts are interchangeable between the 2. The differences between the 2 phones is much greater than that of the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G.
