Besides nokia, most brands seem to generally ignore EDGE. Anyone has some insight into this?

They probably prefer to focus on Umts

Not many besides Nokia. There are Sony Ericcsson phone american versions, PC cards. Motorola and Samsung anounced edge phones also, but have never seen one from them in the market. There is also a PC card by another modem manufactuer Sierra wireless.

I'm very very disappointed due to the non availability of EDGE enabled SE phones.

Looks like nokia currently has a monopoly of the EDGE market. That is a significant number of subscribers in africa, europe and asia, to be precise. And some people wonder how nokia continues to sell so much!

Se Treats india as 2nd rate country so it doesn't pays much attention towards the needs of people in india .

Does anyone have any info on whether SE plans to launch some new EDGE phones any time in the near future? |

They shouldn't because India is the second most populous country in the world. Over 1 Billion peeps live there.

edge is still new and it's competing with 3g so just give it a little while. it's taking off rather quickly here in the U.S. where there is no 3g. of course nobody knows what it is...

I would'nt say competing buddy. EDGE is for all the networks which could not afford/procure a 3G licence. And unfortunately are quite a few around the world.Secondly EDGE is much much cheaper to implement then UMTS (3G) and lastly 3g represents les then 1% of all cell networks. Probably in a few years time that will change.But then again probably not.ATM it looks like most of the users are happy to use a phone just for normal 'talking' with a selected few spearheading the way into video calls which is one of the 3g offerings.Lets wait and see. Is a pity SE is not implementing EDGE.The financial constrains thru which the company is going after the Pxx fiasco surely plays a role.Greetings from SA.Mario
