True I forgot about the site finder. Apparently the Networks have stopped supplying Ofcom with base station info??? Because there is a lot of transmission info missing!? Thank you "HeavyLight" Oh yeah. True I forgot about the site finder. Apparently the Networks have stopped supplying Ofcom with base station info???

I am quite sure it'll be an upgrade on the Networks, and that the handsets will be fine. What I can add is that if U have a phone like a Sony Ericsson (for example) and are able to keep software versions updated from downloading, I'd recomend it. Now I know O2 supports EDGE because my handset keeps switching between EDGE and GSM. What I would like to know is, Does EDGE go out at the same signal strength as 2G or is it different all together? There is no info on their site about EDGE, 3G or HSDPA. In reply to Simon’s question… I am quite sure it’ll be an upgrade on the Networks, and that the handsets will be fine.

Any idea if this is a software upgrade on the handset, or on the network's side of things? “The networking company says it can now get 592 kbps out of EDGE by way of a software upgrade.”

I live just outside Cardiff with no HSDPA. (But according to O2 I am fully covered. They're just daft) So I for one will certainly welcome the EDGE upgrade. The way O2 have been with 3G, I'm not expecting that anytime soon Why is it that Networks will release a new technology to us but not give us its’ full capabilities?
