Re: [iPhone] EDGE vs 3G for Voice There is no difference. Your voice traffic is not going through the fat 3g pipe. Thus why you can stream data and talk at the same time. Depending on the phone, voice is going over Edge or GPRS. |

False - On AT&T, if you're in 3G mode you're using the 3G network for voice calls. The phone cannot be in both modes at the same time. 3G utilizes less compression for better voice quality. AT&T is in the process of moving 3G to the 850mhz band, which should help with building penetration and dropped call issues.

Havertown, PA | I'm almost positive you're wrong. I've never heard of them moving off of edge. A link with proof would be nice. |

They're not moving off of EDGE yet, and I don't see where anyone here has said that was happening. They're starting to add 3G to the 850MHz band in some areas to allow better building penetration with 3G. |

kudos:1 | Even though I have a 3GS I still use EDGE for both phone and data. I find that EDGE is good enough for data.
