Sonera will have their EDGE network running in Finland before the end of this year (first in Europe). Just in time when most of those phones are becoming available (3200 is already).

EDGE is just an enhancement of GPRS, to speed downloading time. It will just make your GPRS bills larger. WiFi is the real way to go (because they charge by minute not by kb like GPRS... more money saved). (Good thing my phone has an SD slot for a WiFi attachment).

"33 operators will deploy EDGE in Americas with 100 million subscribers with first commercial launches before the end of this year (source: UMTS Forum)"
CSL have a working EDGE network in Asia (it started in September). Source:
http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Sept2003/5827.htm
As do Telefonica Movil Chile in Latin America.
Bite, a Lithuanian operator, are waiting to get their EDGE up and running as well.
By 2007, EDGE users reach 331 million with 167 million users in Europe and 109 million in Americas (source: ARC Group 2002).

That is operator dependant. My operator, Radiolinja, gives me unlimited GPRS data transfer (no charge by minute or kb) between 18:00 and 06:00 for 10€/month. I think it's a pretty good deal.

Good for you! In my country, WiFi is more feasible. The two major networks charge per kb... we don't have a choice.

Hey boysaint- SE phones are easier to bluejack than Nokia phones- at least Nokia's need you to confirm recieving an item (eg contact). The SE phones just take it. Once again, SE crumbles in a heap...

WiFi is not exactly the way to achieve the high bitrates in the mobile world. Yes, it's great in small limited area standing still where you have the coverage. Mobile means movement, so people on the move in middle of nowhere don't have much use for WiFi. EDGE, and maybe later also WCDMA, is the choice for the them to achieve high bitrates. This doesn't mean that I don't want a WiFi for my mobile as an alternative connection to the network.
