S600

GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots)
Data speed 32 - 48 kbps

Thats not edge???

3G, not a fan yet! and not many people have them and its a novelty I hardly use and when I want to showoff my 3G phone the damn networks are congested and its all fuzy and dies!!!

So edge for me fits better!!

Does really affect me here in the UK as we dont have EDGE supported by the networks here. We do have 3G now though so there is no need for EDGE.

Well for more info goto SE's usa site and for the phones in question goto specifications.

W600i; http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10296

Has EDGE class 10!
SE s710 also has Class 10
SE z500 & z520 both have class 10 EDGE.

Now, as for the bands ... it should provide EDGE on all the bands the phone supports, BUT the caution for US in Canada is that Rogers' our only true provider (it owns Fido) EDGE is ONLY offered on the 850Mhz band, thus far.

Hope this helps, cheers.
