It makes sense to me once a network has GPRS, they should ultimately upgrade to EDGE, and UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA. In turn, they hould turn off the GPRS and NOT EDGE. <br><br>GPRS is a capacity hog and is not as fast as EDGE. However, I also realize that not all European networks upgraded to EDGE (not a smart move I think) where as American ones did. When T-Mobile here launches UMTS I hope they disconnect the GPRS and keep EDGE building out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roger Alford]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2007 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone shows "E" in plain ol' GPRS coverage?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/19/iphone-shows-e-in-plain-ol-gprs-coverage/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/19/iphone-shows-e-in-plain-ol-gprs-coverage/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've had my iPhone for several weeks now with an American (AT&T) contract.
