"EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows
peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS
WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on
3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system,
but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency
than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to
reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral
bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end."


To ze ktoś zaakceptował EDGE jako kompatybilne z 3G nie znaczy ze tak
robiono. Kazdy nowy telefon czy modem 3G potrafił uzywać przynajmniej
WCDMA (nie wspominając o HSPA i jego odmianach).
