Does anyone know what they are actually changing? Now there are a lot of 2G Edge towers that use 1900Mhz,

all 2G towers are being converted to 4G

They must have just put up a new tower near me because when I turned on the Galaxy S yesterday I was getting 4 bars with 4G! I tried to use OpenSignalMaps to find out were the new tower is and it shows one just a couple of blocks away that wasn't there before but couldn't give the exact location and it doesn't show up on the German airportal map. Also it's on 1900Mhz band 2 which is what they are switching the older 3G service on 1700Mhz over too. You might have to change the settings in your phone to get it when it comes to your area though. My Galaxy S-2 couldn't get it at first until I changed the band setting from Auto to WCDMA.
