motorola w490 what is 'high speed data with edge?

EDGE is just a type of data speed. Its really as simple as that. You've probably heard of '3G.' People have been making a big deal about that especially with the iPhone. 3G is another type of data speed, that is reallly high speed. EDGE is pretty slow, similar to dial-up speeds. Be aware that data is really expensive and you may want to get a data plan to avoid crazy charges.

Also, if the phone is a music player, it always plays mp3's!

Enjoy your phone!

edge is not high speed internet. i'ts a marketing toolLOL

today for internet for cellphone there types of speed.

it ranks in this way. slows->edge,2g edge,3g HSIP(something like that too lazy to figure it out), and evdo<-fastest.

they will tell you they have the cheapest internet plan and yes they are telling the truth but it is the slowest.

there different meaning of music player on phone.

if it says it can play all types of music thats means it will play different types of music(mp3, wav, 3gp etc) but not made for using for constant music playing(like the RAZR v1)

for example my PDA(which plays mp3/wave/3gp..etc) which is suppose to be turn on usage and turn off to save battery but if i try to use it for a music player it will only last 2 hours for constant music playing).

phones that are made for playing music are like iphone or LG muziq because they have built in players. (look at nokia xpress 5310 one if want to check it for tmobile or the new ROKR) These phone can last up to 6 hours or even more when you playing music.

the best way to check is to go to a local Tmobile and play with it. even it can play music will it play if you close the clamshell. also phones that are made for playing music will not use a lot of battery power while playing music.

it certainly does have a music player and a pretty sweet one at that. =))) good speaker volume. additionally, the high speed data with edge will only be necessary when using tzones, mms and IM. =) it will just support faster transfers. more real time. =))
