How one can know that on nokia phone that one is using EDGE or GPRS.
Leave two options:
1. Customer care
2. Guess on speed.


Morever is there any jar app to check gprs speed.

haha simple!!!
if GPRS is being used than under the network lines u'll see G or u'll see 2 parallel lines (depending upon the phone) in case of edge u'll see E
under the network lines..

My 3250 shows 2 parallel lines for gprs and capital E above those parallel lines in case of EGPRS (EDGE)...

so i guess that only new class 10 EDGE phone shows E (w810i, 3250 etc), class 6 EDGE phones(3220,6020 etc) and old class 10 EDGE phones (6230i)shows only G, not E ..... right?
