yea, it is hard for you to share EDGE & 3G on a phone, but more and more people choose 3G network to do it, because 3G is not only stable but also strong features, will be more popular in almost country, wireless internet and watch 3gp movie anywhere and anytime with video to 3gp converter

Have to agree. Try the Nokia N73 or the 6233 - both have EDGE and 3G.

I was hoping that the SE W880i would have both EDGE and 3G, but no such luck.

Rant: Why can't SE release a phone with Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G? It's not so difficult, many of the other major manufacturers do it!
