I have a Blackberry Curve and it has the EDGE data connection. It is OK. The only reason I have the BB instead of the iPhone is because all my friends have T-Mobile and we can talk free. Plus the PocketMac third party software allows me to sync my Mac with it. I would have probably got a Sidekick if I was able to sync it with the Mac. As soon as the iPhone becomes available as unlocked, I'll get it. Too bad the Nokia 95 8G cannot be synced with the Mac, that is a super cool phone.
