Motorola Goes High-Speed With New Phones
V635
The specifics said that the V635 is going to have EDGE, so I am assuming that it is a Cingular phone.
Thanks.

you both a wrong. edge isnt a separate format. you word it as if t-mo wont have it because its edge. do you think cingulars whole network is edge? no. its not. meaning it will operate on non-edge towers as well as those with edge. so in theory this phone would "work" on t-mo. it just wouldnt be able to take advantage of edge towers as t-mo has none at the moment.
terry i digress as i see youve corrected your error.

EDGE is on about 90% of cingular's network.

Thats not true, Cingular as of now has EDGE, but in a few months T-Mobile will launch EDGE. If you look at the Freqencies for the V635 it has 900/1800/1900 MHz on it. Cingular doesn't use 900, they use 850MHz. If Cingular gets that phone, it will have to say 850/1800/1900M MHz on the phone. So, my guesss this will be a phone for T-Mobile to support their EDGE launch. The phone is suppose to come out in a few months

T-Mobile does not offer 900 MHz either. That is an international band... The 1900 MHz is also used by Cingular (New York, the Carolinas, and out west) So they may only offer it in those area... But THAT SUCKS!!
