When the 3G iPhone comes out will it be able to use the Edge network if 3G isn't available? I have no 3G service near my house but I do at work. I just bought an 8gig iPhone but may return it to wait for the new one. I have another week to bring back but will have to pay 10%. Tough decision, I wonder how much a 3G iphone would cost?
Got a tip for us?

to be specific,
yes you will get EDGE even if 3G is not available because any 3G phones can work their way backwards if a certain connection isnt available.
So if your phone cant get a 3G signal, it will get an EDGE signal, if for some reason EDGE is not available also, then it will go to GPRS.

It would be silly to bite a $40-$50 fee to wait for a new phone that hasn't been announced and might not come out for months.
