Hey could anyone make a video showing the browsing and software download experience on EDGE? I'll by using the N900 on AT&T and would like to see if it is worse, better or equal to how it is on the iphone.

its not too bad, but its noticeable compared with any other phone that can access ATT's 3G network, given EDGE is about 1/2 or more times slower in download speeds than 3G.

Funny thing is that the Tmo staff in a few of the stores near where I live are heavy geeks and have been trying to get the N900 as well.

EDGE on the n900 is totally tolerable. I've been downloading packages ("apps") and browsing sites. AJAX heavy sites like Facebook suck on EDGE though. It might be noted that I was using it practically under a tower at the time, so that was helping.

It's better than I expected, and it definitely loads the whole page still.
