    EDGE is an enhancement of GPRS, 3G is a totally different technology capable of much higher data rates. Now there is also an enhancement to 3G called HSDPA which bumps the speed up from a theoretical maximum of 384kb/s to 1.4mb/s. Even this speed is being improved on at the moment so you could be looking at much more than that soon.

    Yes, it is much faster...maybe 10x faster, although that depends on a lot of factors. Note that Wi-Fi is far faster than 3G, although not as widely available on cell phones.
