Audiovox SMT 5600 / SPV C500 (HTC Typhoon)
Does the newest release of the Audiovox SMT 5600 have edge
Could someone please tell me if newer versions of this same model number has the edge high speed download capability.

They advertise this feature on their respective websites in writing. I bought one of these phone last week and I can't see where it has edge. I asked the selling vendor and they said EDGE I must request cingular to turn-on/download for me. But I asked cingular about this they said if my phone was edge capable that it would automatically connect using edge technology and not just gprs. mine seems to be connecting to the internet with a "G". Does anyone have in information regarding this. You...

I myself work for Cingular and I know that on our sales tags for the Audiovox SMT5600 it does say that the phone supports EDGE but if you look on the boxes it says only GPRS. The Cingular rep was right about the phone automatically connecting to the EDGE network if possible. My SMT5600, unfortunately, only supports GPRS and that is how it connects to the internet as well. I think that when Cingular picked up this phone they should done a firmware update or something so that the phone would support the EDGE network. The Seimens SX66 does not support EDGE either which I think a lot of people are upset with (I know that that was totally irrelevant to the topic).
