Hi.

I have a small issue regarding EDGE on my Nokia N900. On my other Nokia mobiles (N70 & N96) I'm able to see the EDGE(E) symbol, but not on my N900! I am also not getting the speeds as i get on my other mobiles!

My N900 shows 2.5G but EDGE(E) is 2.75G[1]. Could someone help me out on this?

That's rather nitpicky. When it says 2.5, it means EDGE.

But, I am supposed to get atleast 15kbps download speed as i get on my N96!
Why is that no happening? Still and

i have a hard time getting data on edge. a lot of times it says 'cellular data not available'. my previous 3g phones (n95, e71, 5800) worked better on edge than this one does

Crap cell network/area perhaps? The N900 displaying 2.5 means it is connected via EDGE, and works fine for me.

Yes. I too have the same problem. The data packets get disconnected moment i get a call/sms. its really bugging me. I used to never have this problem on my N96

Edge didn't support simultaneous call and data ...

Oh! I thought it did because, In Kerala, India i was able to use both Data and Call simultaneously!
Data never used to get disconnected whenever i received a Call or SMS

N900 supports simultaneous call and data on edge, but the majority of operators do not support it.
