Curve Firmware Upgrades?
Is the Curve firmware upgradable? Is it forever stuck with EDGE or could a future firmware upgrade allow it to use 3G? I was in a retail store(Middletown, NY) yesterday and surfed with a Blackjack (3G) and a Curve 8310(EDGE)and didn't really notice much of a difference (possible that this geo area can't get 3G and reverted to EDGE?) Does anyone know the scoop about 3G in the Orange County area of New York?

From what I know, any existing EDGE enabled phone is stuck running on EDGE, and you can't just upgrade a phone's firmware to get it running on 3G (take the iphone for example, they're releasing a 3G version later in 08, rather then just put a software update on the existing iphone, because the technology in the phone doesn't support 3G).
I used to have a Blackjack and downloading/surfing on 3G was sweet, but then work gave me a Curve and I love it, but I wish the internet speeds were faster.
