Hey now, I would not trade in my XBox or PS2 on my HDTV plasma big screen. And the few events that are on HDTV are nice; programming is nice if you like TV (which I do), but still not enough channels on regular cable in my area (Voom looks nice, but too expensive and I do not care to have satellite TV since I have a cable modem as well).

What's the saying about endulging in the non-necessities available...?

:D

EDGE can technically be considered a 'true' 3G network, however its more of middle step between GPRS/GSM and 3G. I would say that EDGE won't catch on in N. America anytime soon (and given the delay in implementing it, it may be skipped for something newer, to be honest).
