You know what 3G is? It's EV-DO with Verizon and it is HSPDA with AT&T.
Once again, AT&T is making an attempt to persuade customers that EDGE is 3G, when it is really closer to 2.25G or the furthest I'd say is a 2.5G. It MIGHT be comparable to Verizon's EV-DO rev. O...but even it is 1.5 times faster than the EDGE network.
This is what AT&T says about EDGE (and they even contradict themselves saying it):

What's funny is Verizon's SLOWEST 3G (EV-DO rev. O) network provides speeds minimally of 550kbps download. Verizon's fastest 3G network (EV-DO rev. A) network has burst speeds of up to 1250kbps.
Verizon Wireless has a national access network which is primarily used for placing/receiving calls and text messaging. It can occasionally be used for data whenever 3G is not available. 3G is rarely unavailable because it now exists in 99.9% of Verizon's market. The speeds of national access is 135 kbps on average. So if this EDGE network is considered 3G, why is it so slow at 75-135kbps?
