Apple provides button to disable EDGE

Well, well, well. Look what popped up in today's UK iPhone launch:

Now we just need that software update over here... a lot of people could've used this at launch!

Since EDGE will only be in 30% of O2's area that's why you see that extra setting.

U.S. wont see that.

And there will still be tools who rack up huge bills.

I'm glad Apple finally took care of this.

I hope thats not the case. When I go abroad I would want to diable Edge.
Lets hope it shows up after the update.

Sources on that?

How about "I don't think US will see that."

I personally think that it's no big deal to turn it off. AND notice it says Edge ROAMING. Not intended to turn off EDGE on the home network.
