    EDGE = 7 x dial-up modem speeds Martin Hill -- 11/09/07

    2.5G EDGE data rates are not the same as dial-up speeds. EDGE can theoretically hit 384 Kbps or almost 7 times the speed of a 56Kbps dial-up modem.

    In the USA, AT&T boosted the speed of their EDGE network up to around 200Kbps during their operation Fine Edge in the lead-up to the release of the iPhone.

    Get your facts straight.

    iPhone Down Under Anonymous -- 11/09/07

    Got mine 2 weeks after being released... It's great! Did the hardware unlock and phone functions perfectly (Visual Voicemail and YouTube excepted) Going from a W880i the size is a slight disadvantage (although it is smaller than most other phones I've owned!) - But just the interface is FANTASTIC... everyone who touches it wants one!

    telstra comment Anonymous -- 11/09/07

    Telstra spokesperson Peter Taylor warns Australian-based iPhone owners "using any handset that hasn't been optimised for Australia's mobile networks is asking for trouble".

    What sort of trouble do we think Telstra are expecting??? :)
