EDGE in Cedar Rapids

I know I'm supposed to be too busy to be blogging, but I had to pass this along.

I was at Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids tonight with my kids, watching the Cedar Valley Trail Riders Motocross. At one point in the evening, I looked down at my phone and was surprised to find that there was an "E" (for EDGE) displayed on my screen instead of the usual "G" (for GPRS). I don't know if EDGE is turned on permanently in that area, or if I just happened to look at my phone during a test run. My phone went back to "G" after we left Hawkeye Downs and unfortunately, it stayed that way all the way to my termite-infested home in Iowa City.

We would LOVE to see EDGE in Southeast Iowa.... Hopefully soon!

BTW, my unlocked iPhone is working GREAT on the i wireless network - except for data of course. Anybody know how to get GPRS/EDGE to work?

data works fine on it, it is being discussed at length on howardforums.com and planetcr.com

Sorry - forgot to update this thread. Yes, I have data working just fine. It's ssssslllloooooowwwww, but it's only GPRS at this time.

You can't beat the i wireless data plan - anywhere. It's a fantastic value that I hope isn't ruined by a price increase once EDGE is fully rolled out.
