Does anyone know which (if any) of the UK networks has EDGE available on it?

I dont think any have it. They are all going towards 3g rather than edge.

Vodafone are testing EDGE in Southampton and Orange have a EDGE ready network but I'm not sure of a roll out plan.
Both networks will use EDGE to fill the gaps between the 3G coverage.

yeah thats a bit of a shame really. I thought maybe at least one of them would.

@fatreg theres nothing wrong with 3G mate, just thought with the upcoming S700 I might be able to use the EDGE feature.

but isn't 3g supposed to be better than edge?
cos here in india, they have edge, but no 3G yet.
so, i think uk networks have gone directly from gprs (which is considered 2.5G) to 3G!
which i think is a good thing

oh FFS will someone please sort out the esato phone lists lol. It says it has EDGE on there!
Ok then if I was, for example, to get the 6230 then I couldnt use the EDGE as noone supports it!

And yes plasmadog 3G is better than EDGE but none of the 3G phones are attractive to me right now.
