Both Smart and Globe have EDGE, but they are still in beta testing, so I don't know if they offer this openly to the public.
If you're planning to buy a phone with an MP3 player, forget the S700, go for the K750

use the search...anyway it HAS been around since 6220 came out. though it's transparent meaning it's still called gprs but faster. |

EDGE is no GPRS. GPRS is packetswiched data (using multiple data changels). EDGE is a fast way of getting data by using multiple GSM connections (circuit switched)

@v3xat10n, EDGE is also known as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS)

@v3xat10n - GPRS = 115 kilobits per second
EDGE = 384 kilobits per second
3times faster than gprs, although edge can handled 3G. thats why operators are not telling the subscribers that they have edge already, not fully operational.
