EDGE is an earlier technogy for cell data that is still used. If you are in an area with no 3G available or a very weak signal it will switch to E. you can try Resetting your device by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignoring the red Off slider, waiting for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. If that does not work you will need to relocate to an area with a stronger signal.
