hi to all,
i am going to start a new cingular plan soon and was wondering if the v620 is worth the wait. the v551 has edge and the v620 doesn't, but that doesn't matter a whole lot. should i jump on the v551 or wait?

I thought EDGE would be a great advantage to allow me to link to my laptop and PDA for high speed access. It turns out, however, that EDGE speeds are internal to the phones browser/mail only unless you sign up for the $80 month data package.
