and the vodafone EDGE thing, anything less than 3G in almost DOA in aus, our telecommunications monopoly (telstra) has the premier BB service and their 3G coverage is larger than any EDGE/GSM network. the bb Pearl is the last device AT ALL that they sell that is non 3G and they dont even have them in stores anymore.

vodafone is late to the table with this EDGE network, they have little coverage outside of cities, and i know that is where more bb users dwell, but as a consumer phone, which is who vodafone cater to, EDGE is just a joke.

for professional users, most companies (mone included) use telstra, as they have the best coverage, and the 3G bold, no companies that i know of, or really any with a useful IT dept, buy EDGE or GPRS phones due to coverage and future proof issues.

EDGE seems to be alive and well in north america, but in aus it is a dying breed.
to continue capturing the consumer market, and even the professional one, RIM needs to create more 3G devices, the most advances phones in the world are useless without a large data pipe to support them

i do hate telstra as much as the next guy, but they do have the best blackberry service in aus. i currently have a bold with them, as they wouldnt replace my 2 month old defective curve with another.

cant wait for RIM to produce more 3G devices, EDGE is a bit of a joke for a consumer phone, and increasingly even for professional services (my company will only supply 3G phones, due to coverage)
