Well pretty simple question to answer... I'm not in the States... I'm in Costa Rica.... there aren't many options to choose from, there's 3g and other connections but I'm not interested. I work at home, and I got wi-fi so I don't really need internet on my phone as bad as if I worked somewhere else or on the road with no access to a computer... EDGE let's me do the very basic things I want to do on the internet on the very few times I'm not at home... plus I don't pay anything additional for it, whereas having a cool data plan that I won't use as much would run me a bit of $$ every month...
