Depending on its latency (remember it is throttled HSPA, not true EDGE), you probably could do VOIP Over 3g with the 729 codec.

You can. ive used Line2 and Skype with 80% no troubles. not perfect, but free.

its very important to note it is throttled HSPA. my local TMo people call it EDGE when i hear them discuss it to customers. its DEFINITELY not the EDGE network. the EDGE network almost anywhere, US especially, barely works at even 20KBs. in about 10 countries in Europe and Asia Ive been to the klast couple months, it always throttles exactly to 128Kbs.
