EDGE Disappears From High End Motorolas

Phonescoop has an interesting news bit about EDGE disappearing from Motorola phones:

Motorola has been quietly revising the specs on many of the high end models they’ve announced but haven’t yet released. Well publicized phones including new design models such as the PEBL and SLVR, as well as the E895 and A910 will no longer launch with EDGE data. They will be GPRS only. A Motorola spokesperson explained that the chipset Motorola choose for their top of the line models does not have a stable EDGE implementation, and does not meet Motorola’s quality standards. It is too late for Motorola to swap out chips, so the company has been forced to disable EDGE on the new phones despite their high end placement in their lineup.
