Thanks Gowin and adv99576 for the detailed informations....
Below are some important facts about EDGE and 3G:
EDGE is a new air-interface technology, to offer third-generation data rates for the global evolution of GSM and TDMA to 3G. EDGE uses 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM), rather than normal GSM Gaussian modulation shift keying (GMSK). This will offer 48 kbits/s per GSM timeslot.
The catch is that EDGE requires higher radio signal quality than that found in an average GSM network before higher data throughput can be reached. This means more base stations (especially indoor) and infrastructure build-out for established GSM operators that wish to migrate to EDGE
EDGE enables services like multimedia emailing, Web infotainment and video conferencing to be easily accessible from wireless terminals. EDGE is designed for migration into existing GSM and TDMA networks, enabling operators to offer multimedia and other IP-based services at speeds of up to 384 kbits/s (possibly 473 kbits/s in the future) in wide area networks. An important attraction of EDGE is the smooth evolution and upgrade of existing network hardware and software, which can be introduced into an operator's current GSM or TDMA network in existing frequency bands.
Press Release from Nokia:
"A major benefit of EDGE is that it enables existing TDMA carriers as well as GSM carriers to offer 3G services while still realizing lower costs due to higher spectral efficiency and higher data rates," says Terri Beck, Vice President, Nokia Networks. "Nokia believes that a single network solution offering GSM/GPRS/EDGE and WCDMA will allow carriers to benefit from GSM global economies of scale, including higher revenue streams, increased network efficiency and lower overall costs.
Offering GSM enhanced with GPRS and EDGE will bring new 3G opportunities to carriers operating in the 800, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands and will enable full global roaming between the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Hope this will end the confusion...

this discussion about 3G has been interesting but is already off the main topic of this thread.. If any of you wish to continue discussing this matter, please feel free to use the more appropriate threads:
-
What is 3G?
-
GPRS and moving forward...
-
EDGE?
-
Is GSM or W-CDMA the future?

all that you said were informative but my question is: would i, an "average" frequent texter and sometime caller, benefit from all of this? i use wap over gprs to check e-mails which are only text, but before gprs, i was happy with wap over gsm. is 3g technology all that's hyped up to be? i mean gsm is still the global standard and still being widely used and popular as opposed to gprs...

Regarding Globe blocking all wapsites, this is not true. Few sites can still be browsed. So far, eto pa lang ang mga alam ko. Please share naman your wapsites.
Using www APN:
Y! Messenger & Mail -
http://wap.yahoo.com
Click The City -
http://wap.clickthecity.com
of course, the ever panget Globe Wap site
If you use CSD settings though, almost all wap sites can be visited. Even esato
