Can You Manually Switch AT&T Bold From 3G To Edge

Does anybody know if I purchase an AT&T branded Bold will I be able to switch it from 3G to Edge Manually. I had the Iphone 3G and the 3G service would show 1 bar of service in certain areas, but since it showed 1 bar of service the phone would remain in 3G. 1 bar of service had terrible call quality. I would switch it to Edge manually since the phone would not do it and with Edge I had a full 5 bars of service. To make a long story short...I returned the Iphone 3G and I am interested in purchasing the new Bold but only if I can manually switch it from 3G to Edge if I don't get a good amount of bars of service. If I can't switch it manually then I may be stuck with 1 bar of service in 3g. It seemed like the Iphone only switched from 3G to Edge automatically when there was No Service.

Thanks In Advance,
NY Jets Fan

Look for much better handoffs between edge and 3g on the bold.

I had the iPhone 3G as well and had nothing but issues with the phone trying to stay connected to 3G and it constantly dropped calls. I bought the Blackberry Bold and have not had ONE issue with it yet. I do a fair amount of traveling and in my basement I get crystal clear calls where I could never get a signal with the iPhone 3G. Give it a chance....
