HI ...my mobile phone contract runs out this onth and i am looking to get a new mobile phone. I would like one that has internet so i can go online when i am on the go. My current phone has WAP but i want something that is faster . I was thinking about the I phone but don't know anything about it.
Also i have heard something about this new technology EDGE?? what iss it ??Any advice about an new phones would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) is just an air interface which is developed specifically to meet the needs of the 3rd Generation mobile communication technology (3G)

Therefore to get the fastest possible connection you just need to look for a phone that supports 3G.

You mentioned the iPhone, the old model has internet but only WAP and GPRS, after a lot of complaints of it being too slow the newer model comes with 3G (which is faster) and is aptly named iPhone3G.

Most new phones now are coming with 3G, and if you go to a site like the carphone warehouse you can filter your results of phones by having 3G or not (a long with other specifacation such as FM radio, MP3, etc.)

Hope that helps, Ollie.

ok i was looking at the carphone warehouse website. I am with T-Mobile at the moment and will have to stay with them as my husband has already renewed the contract . The iphone3G will it work with T-Mobile or do i need to switch over to o2? Something about the lock???????

well initially you would have to change to O2, however it is possible to have the phones unlocked to be able to use them on any network. if you are wanting to stay with T-Mobile, it's probably best to look on ebay or similar sites for a pre-unlocked phone.
