"EDGE is a completely different network than 3G.
When people say: "My reception is great, I get full reception in EDGE, and 1-2 bars in 3G," that means their 3G reception is horrible.
For all intents, it's best to ignore EDGE reception if you believe that you're in a 3G area with AT&T (or other carrier world-wide).
If you're on 5 bars of EDGE, yet should have 3G, that's a problem.
I can be next to my friend's Nokia N75 with full 3G reception and my phone goes between 1-2 bars of 3G, and EDGE."
"The simplest and probably most opted-for solution:
-Get a 3G iPhone.
Wideband CDMA technology (and CDMA in general) does not interfere like a traditional GSM's TDMA air interface does."
"So I believe that Steve Jobs said something about, world-wide, the iPhone will not cost more than $199/$299 during the WWDC Keynote....
Does this make Steve a liar?
Even Sprint is letting anyone sign-up for an Instinct, regardless of contract status..."
