Which one is better GSM or CDMA mobile?

This depends on where you are, but 9 times out of 10 CDMA will provide better coverage than GSM, especially inside buildings that GSM can't penetrate. GSM= work with SIMcards ( ATT,T-mobile) some areas have better coverage than CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel ect), the Problem with GSM is that its bandwith is not as fast as CDMA since Data travels quicker on CDMA's devices due to less steps to follow : GSM= Data - SIMcard - device= response CDMA= Data - Device= Response (wider bandwith as well) so i would say that CDMA is better than GSM. Although it has been very widely reported that GSM carriers have faster speeds than CDMA carriers. Such as AT&T has far faster speeds than CDMA networks while covered.

What is the need of having a GMSC in GSM network when there is an MSC?

A normal MSC will connect BSC to the PLMN/PSTN Network directly. Meaning to say it will need to do the call connections and management from BSC all the way to PLMN/PSTN network. Once the network expands, the MSC will face congestion and therefore a solution needed. GMSC - Gateway MSC, as the name implies, will in this case serve as an interconnection between MSC and PLMN/PSTN Network. Thus this free up the resources of the MSC itself need to perform all the originally tasks.

Does Sprint support GSM phones?

Sprint is not a GSM service provider, they use a CDMA network. Also Sprint is now Sprint/Nextel and although Nextel devices do use SIM cards they are not GSM devices either. Nextel uses an iDEN network and their SIM cards can only be used for International Roaming, they cannot be used on GSM networks in the United States. Unlocked Nextel devices cannot be used on a GSM network and unlocked GSM devices cannot be used on the Nextel network as the two are not even remotely compatible.
