Hey, thanks for everyones responses, that cleared up things immensely. And, after I posted (and thought that I researched it thoroughly), I saw on openmoko.com, it specifically says no EDGE support. Silly me. I am curious, would EDGE support be a potential software upgrade? Or does it require new hardware? I'm torn between buying one now and waiting and see what comes out in the coming months. :-) Todd _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
