I purchased an unlocked GSM Treo 650 not long ago to use with my Cingular
account. One of the reasons I switched from Sony-E P900 to Treo 650 was
because of Edge, and I immediately noticed a difference - though not THAT
impressive at all.
Yesterday, replacing my wife's phone, the Cingular rep. in a local Chapel
Hill, North Carolina Cingular store told me that Edge had not even been
rolled out yet, and that the only difference in speed was due to different
GPRS compression ratio.
Now I'm trying to figure out whether he knows what he's talking about. As
usual the Cingular website is of little help, and calling them, well, I
don't waste my time.
I did find this, however, which dates from January 2005 and seems to
indicate that Edge is indeed available throughout the Carolinas.

I'd just like to have somebody confirm for me that Edge has or has NOT been
rolled out.
It is amazing what kind of conflicting information you get from Cingular
people....................
