Thanks so much for the info! Really a great help B)

I'm going first to my friends place in Leszno tomorrow night then for work on Monday to Poznan, Tuesday to Wroclaw and Wednesday back to Poznan. Leszno is a bit out in the countryside but when I was there in July EDGE was working very well with the Wind mega-no-limit on Plus and I even had a SIP phone working over it at one point!

The coverage maps are very good...really nice to see an operator actually clearly show where they have EDGE. Back in the UK I don't even think the network CS people even know what EDGE is let alone be able to tell you where or if they have coverage! For the moment I actually prefer EDGE to UMTS as it doesn't zap the battery life of the handset as much, suffers less from dropped connections and for pure internet access seems just about as fast. Of course here in Belgium I've been told Proximus now has the UMTS network up to 1.8MB/s providing you use a compatible handset but as my Nokia N70 only supports 384 KB/s UMTS it's not such a big jump over EDGE rates.
