Because GSM uses SIM cards, third party developers like Owasys (or Code Factory and TALX) can develop technology the telcos aren't willing to do. You can hack up adevice, snap in your SIM card, and bring your device up on a GSM network without any cooperation from the telephone company. This just isn't possible with CDMA. If Verizon Wireless (or Sprint) aren't cooperating with you, there's just no way to bring up a device on their networks.
