Anybody using a EDGE enabled mobile to access Airtel GPRS? Whatz the speed you are getting? I know that it is mentioned 15KBps everywhere. But I wanted to hear it's actual value from it's users only.

^^ It can go upto max 20 kBps during early morning and late night. During day it hovers between 10-15kBps.

I think without edge handset .. theses no use of MobileOffice,
edge enable handset is available as low as 4k now.

I get 12-14KBps

Exactly, that's the same reason I asked the question. Currently I am using K750i which doesn't support EDGE. I am planning to buy W810i and utilize it's EDGE capability and bluetooth for connecting to my lappy.

Few days back I was thinking to get a Reliance Netconnect or Tata Indicom Data card. But they are really expensive in long run for me. Rather a EDGE enabled GPRS will give me the same speed and very dearer to pocket too!

Yes thats better .. even a seprate handset for just this purpose is ok to buy. data card is a useless n wastage of money.
since getting 3g is noway near .. EDGE handset is ok to buy, I would suggest nokia bcoz its more compatible to using gprs n all as per my experience.. just a suggestion.

Hmm... 3G. It's good to have it too. Thanks for reminding. :p
In such case, Nokia 5700 should work for me. :)

Are you sure it is without EDGE? Nokia 3230 is EDGE enabled. You are probably getting EDGE connection.

And yes. It won't make any difference whether you are using Bluetooth or Data cable. Both will give same speed. Although CC will say use Data cable for good speed.

@Kiran_tech_mania

he means airtel network is not edge enabled..
You should know that gprs speed is based on various factors .. no of users, etc. it includes that ..if u have edge then ok but your service provider should have a edge too in ur area. its like you have a 3g phone but AirTel do not have a 3G network.

3220 has edge and 6600 dont, which is a outdated set now.

I know that guys. Pune is EDGE enabled. Hence I am going for it. At present I am using K750i which is not EDGE compatible. Now I am planning to purchase Nokia 5700 so that I can utilize EDGE connectivity.
