how do i know if im using edge or not?
ive had this phone since nov 15 an was wondering if there was a way to check if im on edge. Second question im curious is there a way to check the net speeds your getting when your surfing the web on this phone?
...
I'd like to know the same thing. As long I am paying for WIX, I'd like to know if I am receiving this benefit on this phone. Cingular doesn't have a clue.....I see no "Blue E" taking the place of the GPRS Icon.

Nothing will show up on your phone letting you know you're EDGE, you just need to figure out if you're in a region that has EDGE, if you are, then you're on EDGE, if not, then you're not, sorry, theres no easy way

actually there is. on my v551 i have a blue E where those old little boxes would be. i had to replace my v551 and my replacement shows the E now.
...
not on mine, i just have the boxes. if you are familiar with pst or any of that flash/flex stuff do you think you could make a software backup for those of us who want that stuff?
...
well i do have the PST7. if you can give me a guide on how to make a backup i would be happy to help everyone.
...
i'm not entirely sure myself, but i know somebody who might know, i'll talk to him and see if he knows (is "himself" on vxxxstuff.com, he knows like everything you can do with the motos)
...
cool just get back to me. i am also registered at vxxstuff. i am ripleyr1 there.

With most fones you cannot tell if you're using EDGE, it's just faster or it's not. With the newer software, you'll get the blue E on this phone.
However, some info about availability of EDGE.
Cingular doesn't have it. Cingular's EDGE network is the format AT&T Wireless EDGE network.
If you do a network search and see only Cingular, likely no EDGE is available.
If you see Cingular Wireless or AT&T Wireless, try that.
Also, EDGE is only available on the 1900 frequency. (EDGE is a combination of normal software compression of data, and some frequency 'trickery'.)
When you use your phone and you don't get the interference you sometimes get when using your phone, it's using the lower 850 frequency.
850 is great for voice, an...
