I looked and could not find. I have an 8820, AT&T with a generic data plan. I only get the lowercase "edge" and sometimes "gprs".

The manual states that "edge" only has call and sms capability, yet I am able to browse using Bolt and Opera mini. I can also check my gmail account. Does "EDGE" only show up if you are subscribed to a BB data plan (BIS or BES)?

Thanks, from a very new noob.

Yes.

Thanks, that's what I suspected.
