                          Since UMTS is a lot fast than EDGE, data transfers via UMTS take less time.
When downloading the same file, it would take longer to be downloaded via EDGE.

* Doesn't the difference in transfer time (partly) kill the advantage of saving power as the antenna pulls power for longer to end the transfer?
