Here is what you snipped:

<http://www.ericsson.com/products/hp/Mobile_Broadband_EDGE_bs.shtml>

EDGE is 3G radio technology that triples the high-speed data communication
capacity of GPRS-enhanced GSM networks, enabling GSM operators to provide
high-speed mobile Internet services over existing infrastructure and with
an existing GSM license.

The world's first GSM/GPRS/EDGE 3G phone, the Nokia 6200, was launched in
November 2002 and has been in shops since May 2003.
