Amagab,

I work for one of the carriers in the US now, so I know a bit about EDGE. I'd suggest using a PC card for test EDGE, as your nokia is likely only able to use two of the four channels available to it.

That is, since you have to be able to use your phone while EDGE is in use, there is one channel reserved as a "data channel" and another channel reserved for the base station control channel (to keep GSM timesync, sending paging requests etc).

So in short, to test EDGE you need to use an EDGE PC Card - like the SE GC82.
