Why does it take the iphone for networks to change their systems? I cant see that the cost of upgrading to edge can be offset by the revenue created by the iphone.

probably so that the users of the iphone can have faster browsing and download speeds than with gprs alone since they cant have 3g.

The networks paid so much for the 3G licences they did not want to use EDGE.

Yep E stands for EDGE. An icon would look better on it. A letter is kinda boring.

Yes, officially O2 upgraded to EDGE about 3 weeks ago, or more, can't remember. It only works in good/strong coverage areas at the moment, but GPRS will continue to work.
For those who can't get it either:
-are too far from their nearest mast
-don't have EDGE
-or, the most common one, have a 3G phone, because WCDMA (3G) is faster than EDGE, therefore theres no need for it.
And yes, it's to tie in with that bloody Apple 'thing' they call a phone. I swear, if head office shove one more piece of "good god it's greater than GOD!" type marketing down our throats I might have to quit :/
you may have to quit 9th Novmber then,
imagine all the customers coming into store asking for a looky at it
Roll on the 9th actually my bill's out then ive had 2 nasty surprises the last 2, forleast this maybe the last one as I can leave 23rd

@Miss UK
If your phone picks up a 3g signal then you will not pick up edge as well.
3g works on 2100mhz which doesn support edge, so when you phone is locked onto 3g it will state 3g.
However if you either switched of 3g in the menu, or went out of 3g coverage, then your phone will lock onto a 2g mast, and if you are in a area where the mast has been upgraded then you will have a little E on the phone.
Hope this helps.

Some operators display the "E" as part of area information. Try to disable "Cell Information" and see if the "E" goes away.
