EDGE is not 3G. Different technologies. It depends on the implementation, so a firmware upgrade is not likely to give you 3G.

Insert: Whether EDGE is 2G or 3G depends on implementation. While Class 3 and below EDGE devices clearly are not 3G, class 4 and above devices perform at a higher bandwidth than other technologies conventionally considered as 3G (such as 1xRTT). Because of the variability, EDGE is generally classified as 2.75G network technology.
