WCDMA and GSM

[MJR]

Ok... This is something that I am confused about... I've heard that WCDMA is suppose to eventually replace GSM, but I was under the assumption that WCDMA was a technology used for data and that GSM was used for voice. Is WCDMA a new technology for voice communications as well or would it only be used for communications in the future (other than data) by video conferencing (3.5G)?
