I am thinking of getting a new airtel postpaid connection for using Mobile Office Service only (On PC).I am having two options: first, just buying a new sim and using it with any EDGE enabled phone(Nokia 6020 or 6233 I already have) or buying Airtel USB modem as well with the sim(Rs 3350). Please tell which option would be better. Or should I buy any other handset (with EDGE support, Nokia or SE) for using this service at about the same price. There shouldn't be any difference in speed that I would get on each, but if it may be there, tell me.

I have another doubt as well regarding Nokia 6233. Does it always show E sign (for EDGE) whenever connected to data services(GPRS/EDGE) or does it show G when EDGE is not available. Whenever I open AirtelLive on it, E is shown and the speed is very good. But on 6020(which is also EDGE enabled), exactly at the same place and same time, the pages take too long to open.
