We now have EDGE at my store (unofficially).

I was showing a customer how to tether a phone to a computer for GPRS internet access using a Moto V330, and I noticed that the connection speed was REALLY good (115-120 kbps). 😁

btw
does the phone shows "E" when using EDGE?
but one thing I found, T-Mobile runs class 4 or 6 EDGE (only 3 dl slots)

Seems as though you either got lucky with your GPRS connection or latched on to Cingulars' EDGE. Per T-Mobiles published info their plan for EDGE or UMTS build-out is not planed till 2007 for the US.

That was me! We now have EDGE at my store in Eastern Washington, and it's off of T-Mobile's towers, not Cingular's. I don't think that it has been announced officially yet - but it is up and running just fine.

Edge is running in Phoenix too.

My RRM got a hold of an EDGE enable aircard to use on a trial. But when I asked Employee Phones if I could have the service activated for my 7710....I was told to keep an eye on Streamline for when the service would launch! So if anyone knows how I might be able to tweak my settings to have EDGE...I'd be very grateful!
