Edge Icon -- All Blue

[brn2ski00]

Have any of you noticed that occassionally, the EDGE icon (top left) in the toolbar turns into a block. When I say block, I mean that the icon becomes all blue (or white depending on the application you are in) with no little 'E' inside of the block.

Does this sound familiar? Any fixes out there for it?

The 'fix' is to find better coverage. When that block is solid, it simply means you can't get an EDGE connection.

But it seems to happen even when I have "full bars" from At&t.

Aren't they both related?

I don't believe EDGE is available everywhere AT&T is so it's possible that's what's causing it

The blue box just means you are on GPRS and not EDGE, its a 'slower' data connection.

I've seen the same thing before myself with the solid blue box and I could swear my EDGE connection was faster. Even if it was my own imagination I still never lost EDGE connectivity while the box was all blue. I'd love to know why that happens.
