I've read somewhere that EDGE was given a boost just in time for the iPhone release. Supposedly a lot faster than previous but not as fast as 3G, but reports say it comes close. Just saw it at Valley Fair, very nice phone. I'd like to get one but I think I'll wait for the 2nd generation though, hopefully after all of the bugs are out, if there are any. Just hope that they still have those unlimited data plans still available by then.
THat is correct, it was upgraded. it's between 140-200kbps now. I switched wifi off earlierout of curiosity and i was pleasantly surprised with the internet speed. Unless you're using the satellite view for maps, it's plenty quick enough. downloaded a south park video faster than it played anyway.

rolled by stonestown today and peeped one them things today. it looks just as dope in person, but, i'm happy to report that i didn't cave in to temptation. i'm getting treo, so i'll use that for serious biz and will probably look into the LG/Prada touchscreen for kicks/giggles/flossing purposes. i'm way too hard on my phones to dump 6 bills on this thing, esp w/the insurance option not being offered yet
I'm pretty sure that lg/prada will be euro only and just almost as much as the iphone.
