EDGE Doubles Its Speed

According to Nokia-Siemens Networks it's software update only for networks. Phones will need new hardware and phones utilizing new tech won't be around until 2009. So no luck for current iPhone owners.

Correct. It would take a new baseband chip, plus dual antennae for full effect. Even the very least version, using five timeslots, is not possible on the iPhone.

you still realize that even with this bump, it's still a lot slower than 3g ... and you can't do voice and data at the same time ... 3g is a significant upgrade

i heard 3g cures cancer as well

3G cures EDGE, which is miracilous enough tbh.
