How Fast?
how fast is EDGE because i know i get EDGE because my SE Z500a says i have service in my house and i'm just wondering i could cancel my DSL.

And how's the Unlimited Text going Cingular? alittle slow, o well.... thanks

3G describes a wireless technology in the 3rd generation. GPRS and CDMA2000 are both 3G technologies. However, 3G generally refers to CDMA2000 in most conversations and sometimes tends to include EVDO (which I believe is specific to Verizon's implementation of CDMA2000 high speed data...though I could be wrong). Cingular will NOT support CDMA2000 or EVDO.
EDGE has the capability to burst up to 2 mbps (megabits per second), but does not stream this fast. Since 3G defines the technology that allows the high speed, you could say 3G is just as fast. You could also say 3G is slow, since technically, it is describing the underlying technology, and not what makes it fast.
If you are referring to using an application that connects to the inter...
