My Blackberry Pearl used to say EDGE and now says GPRS... what is the reason for this?

Question

By the way, it is with the TMobile Service and has been saying EDGE for the last 3 months or so since I first got it. Is this something for me to be concerned about or not? Will it affect my internet connectivity?

Also what are some good websites for applications, themes, and games for my phone? (Blackberry Pearl 8100)

Answer 1

EDGE is a faster version of GPRS.  You may want to ask T-Mobile why it changed, but it shouldn't affect anything too simple.

Best place for Blackberry games is their official site.  http://www.blackberry.com  I have some free ones from joining the Owners' Lounge.  They also have a bunch of applications there too.  I don't know about themes; I don't remember seeing any on there.

Answer 2

Have you moved recently. If you are not getting Edge connections then you might be in a spot that cant support it. With At&T I get 3G connections continuous at work, but only in certain spots in my home, where I go from 3G, to Edge, to GPRS. I even have trouble with MMS's at home unless I am upstairs in my loft. Check your connections when you go out and about..
