I haven't noticed any problems, although I was mostly on WiFi yesterday and I'm at work now so I can't check at the moment. I'll check if EDGE is working when I get home from work.
I live in southern NJ, but I was noticing a problem that started yesterday as well. Not so much with the EDGE (although it did go in and out in areas where it's usally pretty stable). I was having trouble making calls also. It would keep saying "Call Failed," even when I had a full signal. It would take like 5 or 6 tries before I could get a call to go through. Wonder why...anyway, EDGE has seemed even slower than usual since the day before yesterday down here (to me anyway). It took me almost 10 minutes to check my e-mail.
that is strange, i haven't had any trouble making or receiving calls but EDGE is down for the count. it's 1:10pm now and still nothing. It's been almost 2 days, I contacted AT&T about it and they said they aren't showing any problems but 4 people in my area have the same issue so I know it's not the phone.
I work in Jersey City, but I am not there today so I can't report for you..
In general though, EDGE service in Jersey City is HORRIBLE. If i get 70 kbps I'm lucky. much of the time there is simply no service. I can't rely on e-mails or web pages.
Can anyone comment on 3G in this area? I may have to upgrade for this reason alone.

yes, a few times and even popped the sim card. I find it hard to believe no one else has contacted them about this or AT&T having no knowledge of any of this.
