Chocolate teapot

According to Apple's support site, the iPhone needs either an EDGE connection or WiFi for internet or mail access. Even with a deal with "the cloud" the nearest public WiFi to me is 12 miles away. Guess what, O2 won't tell anyone if there is any EDGE coverage, let alone where it is. The only reason I can think of is that they don't cover much of the country. So buy an iPhone and get no mail or internet? Sounds as useful as a chocolate teapot.
