You do realize that EVDO is about 5x-10x faster than EDGE, depending on the variant your phone and your provider are using?

I believe the technology you're looking for is HSDPA, which is high-speed data over GSM networks. However, it's not as widely deployed, just as EVDO is less widely deployed than 1xRTT (though my completely unscientific impression is that EVDO leads HSDPA in deployment here in the US).
