@mikky: Nope. As a matter of fact, there are verrrryyyy, verrrryyy few SE phones that support EDGE. In addition, those few that do are not the verrrrryyy common models.
If you want EDGE functionality in a phone, you won't go wrong looking at Nokia.

@deji: Just being curious. What necessitated your migration from Glo to Vee?
---
And still on the EDGE subject, a few years ago while many analysts were of the opinion that EDGE had no future and would fizzle out, I stuck to my guns and insisted that it would gain widespread use.
The anti-EDGE camp was populated by those who believed that since most European networks paid through their noses for 3G licences, they would concentrate on exploiting 3G to the max.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out. Today, those same EU networks are rolling out EDGE service quite extensively. Many more carriers in Africa and Asia have also "gone over the EDGE" (forgive the pun  ) .
My argument was - and still is - that it costs very little to implement EDGE on an existing GPRS network (its basically the same technology), while it is fairly expensive to set up 3G, especially because its a different technology from GSM/GPRS.
The trend continues as we see here in Nigeria Mtel now EDGE-ready inspite of making noise about 3G last year. I expect they will eventually put 3G in place, but I suspect that like most GSM networks that have implemented 3G, 3G will be limited to major cities and EDGE implemented on the rest of the map.

Did'nt just migrate, but then glo was having problems giving the basic service needed for communication cos of bad call completion, and vmobile came to d rescue, all i glo could offer then was GPRS and MMS services which i used optimally then. The site you just quoted, ll it work on wap?

@Dejitella: DomainStandard.net? Absolutely. Works on WAP like a charm, just as on Web. Plus plenty of useful info for mobile users there as well.
For some weeks now, I have not been able to access Esato XHTML/WAP on my wife's Vmobile/Nokia 7250 combination. Other sites, including mine, load. But when I try Esato, it returns a "No gateway reply" error.

@deji: mobile yahoo is strictly limited to phones on US carriers. However, if your phone is java (J2ME) compatible, you can find a java midlet for yahoo instant messaging. Again, there are one or two WAP sites with the functionality.
What phone do you use?
PM me your email and I'll send you a gmail invite.

Here are links to sites you can download Java midlets for Yahoo Messenger.
1. http://www.myjavaserver.com/~noeno2k3/YMSGo/index.jsp
2. http://mobile.my-symbian.com (under series 60 section, since your phone is Symbian s60)
I will send your Gmail invite in a few minutes.

@all: Well, I finally did it!
What exactly is it i am talking about? I finally setup a forum that is accessible by ANY device you can throw at it.
DomainStandard Forums will redirect you to a compatible interface, depending on your hardware/browser. There are 4 available interfaces:
1. Regular Web
2. Simple text-only
3. XHTML
4. WAP/WML
Note: You can perform all regular actions ( login, Post, Reply, PM, etc), except Register through interfaces 2-4.
To access the forums, simply point your browser to: http://domainstandard.net/forums.php

@egunje: Ran into a slight hitch. Ok, I have added a regular Web interface from which you can register. Here's the link: http://domainstandard.net/board//profile.php?mode=register

Aya congratulations on the successful completion of your multi-interface site, I'll definitely be stopping by.
I'd like to comment on some of your recent posts, as I haven't browsed the forum in 3days.
First I suggest we begin to call you Aya-Nokia, because u have become a staunch PR agent for the brand. I just hope they'll pay you something. I'll be posting a list of all EDGE enabled SE phones shortly.
Secondly, esato is working with my Vmobile line, I'm making this post with it.
Lastly, mobile yahoo isn't restricted to US carriers only, I use a wap version on my glo line, (coola too) and it works ok. I also have a java application called bluepulse that features a free yahoo/msn/icq messenger on my mtn line.

You know me better than that. I am never sentimental. He asked a question, and I gave an answer based on facts

I'll be waiting for the list. Like I said, SE has very few. I might as well help you: apart from the W810 (which is yet to be released), S710, and W600, no other new SE phone I know of runs EDGE (That's 3 out of a portfolio of 51). But of course, I may be wrong there. Meanwhile, a huge chunk of GPRS-enabled Nokia phones run EDGE as well. I have no interests in Nokia. Just stating facts.

I said Yahoo! Mobile. Probably you are talking about something else, but Yahoo! Mobile is carrier-based. Here is the link: http://mobile.yahoo.com/services?prop=messenger
