Well, I am in Atlanta and I just looked down at my phone and noticed that all my networks were turned off.
So I turned them on and now it appears to be working, but it was definitely out all morning till now.
My question is, what is edge vs. EDGE
I mean, what is the technical difference?

Interesting note: When my BB was reading 'edge', I had 4 (of 5 bars). I live in an area of Atlanta sub. that has weak coverage because of a golf course. Now that 'EDGE' is back, I am back down to 2 bars. Not an expert on cellular coverage, but I would think that 'EDGE' would reach further then 'edge'.

Outage is speratic, some users receiving fine and others are not. Same issue some have lowercase edge.

Up in Atlanta now. It happened around 8:50 AM.
So are they doing a work-around for South Eastern states until they fix the original problem(s)?

I was down to 'edge' for about an hour this AM, back up to EDGE now.
I was also in a building that entire period... I turned of the mobile network a couple times and it would regain EDGE and fall back to edge quickly.

AT&T reported that the affected area is growing and is spreading into international markets as well.

that would imply a data plan problem with AT&T. you are getting ZERO data. Pull the battery for 30 seconds with the device on and then put it back in to boot up. |

I did 3 battery pulls--- now I get edge but only in small letters. I also just off the phone with AT&T--- they tell me it's a nation-wide data problem, although my daughter has full EDGE in NYC. |

It's slowly going nationwide, I'm hoping I can finish this EA for the CEO on his new BB before it hits us in Troy Michigan. All other AT&T BB's here are fine.

It is sporadic. I was down, now up. RIM has a data workaround now, but it is not serving everyone.

Ok I'm in Michigan and I have a different carrier but since yesterday evening I haven't been receiving emails from all my accounts.
Is this related? It shows EDGE and I've power cycled, re-registered, did the service books and still no received emails. I can send but not receive, from one to two of my accounts.

With edge, you can only do phone, SMS and generic data via your carrier's APN. With EDGE, you can do phone, SMS and then the BlackBerry Services (emails and PINs).
