The n810 does not support Edge, at least to any knowledge I have -- if
it did, I'd be using it full time, and I'd have thrown out my cell
phone. It supports Bluetooth and WiFi. So, it can be used linked to a
cell phone with Edge or 3G, but has no such ability built-in. There's
rumors that when Sprint unrolls WiMax (in like 8 cities), there will
be n810s with WiMax built-in, but I'll die of old age before WiMax is
ubiquitous. Anyone up for moving to Chicago?

They aren't trained on GPRS because it's old as the hills. Why would
they train sales people on GPRS when they have EDGE (ie EGPRS)?
