EDGE holds a position of the middling factor between the two technologies of GPRS and 3G. The other two are extremes in the sense that while GPRS is not as advanced as EDGE, the latter being an upgrade on the latter, EDGE is less developed than 3G or the 3rd Generation. So it fills the gap between GPRS and 3rd Generation. Here you might as well ask, how? In terms of both price and performance, EDGE is between both GPRS and EDGE. Since it is moderate in all senses of the term, it is but natural that it will be the preferred market choice for the consumers who use mobile Internet.

While EDGE is not as fast as 3G, it definitely is faster than the standard GPRS networks that most people are used to. It delivers a much better performance than the previous network. Also, it is not as expensive as 3G is and therefore is the perfect choice for people who are looking to strike the perfect balance between economy and performance. Thus EDGE is very flexible both in terms of price and performance and this is the perfect combination that most clients are looking for today.

As EDGE becomes more and more popular, a larger number of mobile handsets today are becoming EDGE compatible. Now that it is past the experimental stage, the need has come to push it into the mainstream market and therefore, more and more accessibility is provided to EDGE. EDGE is supported by all the major chip providers for GSM and WCDMA/HSPA. Now slowly EDGE is becoming one of the basic features in most handsets. EDGE is no longer a remote and elite feature. It is available for the masses who need quick Internet access at all times.

EDGE also complements all the services that is provided by the 2G or the 2nd Generation networks. This is because EDGE offers higher user bit rates as well as better multimedia features. There are many features that EDGE provides and these include email, web surfing, downloading music and even watching mobile television. The web surfing is much faster than the standard GPRS and GSM services. Secondly, the messaging is more enhanced and there is a good chat environment. There is a good feature of being able to synchronize email accounts and there is also the Push to Talk facility which is improved as well.
Then there is gaming for those mobile phone gamers and there is real time gaming as well. The quality of the mobile television is enhanced too. Lastly, one can download music through EDGE and the download rate is really fast. Thus there are so many features and also the best part is, the features that are available are really enhanced and therefore of really good quality and there is a delivery of really good performance to the end users. Thus it is getting abundantly clear that as of now, EDGE is currently the best thing to have happened to mobile internet services.
