Can You Manually Switch AT&T Bold From 3G To Edge
Does anybody know if I purchase an AT&T branded Bold will I be able to switch it from 3G to Edge Manually. I had the Iphone 3G and the 3G service would show 1 bar of service in certain areas, but since it showed 1 bar of service the phone would remain in 3G. 1 bar of service had terrible call quality. I would switch it to Edge manually since the phone would not do it and with Edge I had a full 5 bars of service. To make a long story short...I returned the Iphone 3G and I am interested in purchasing the new Bold but only if I can manually switch it from 3G to Edge if I don't get a good amount of bars of service. If I can't switch it manually then I may be stuck with 1 bar of service in 3g. It seemed like the Iphone only switched from 3G to Ed...

Look for much better handoffs between edge and 3g on the bold.

I had the iPhone 3G as well and had nothing but issues with the phone trying to stay connected to 3G and it constantly dropped calls. I bought the Blackberry Bold and have not had ONE issue with it yet. I do a fair amount of traveling and in my basement I get crystal clear calls where I could never get a signal with the iPhone 3G. Give it a chance....
