I'm interested to learn how RIM was able to tweak a non-3G device to run faster on the network...

Server side compression, from what I know.

If I remember correctly the "older" EDGE technology used only 2 "connections/channels" to download data, while the new EDGE technology uses 8.

i think old curve bottleneck is on processor side, so a faster cpu on 8900 imrpoves browsing speed somehow

Yea, I think the processor was part of the bottleneck. However, on top of that, the EDGE speed was also improved as I mentioned in my previous post.

Or will the 8900 be the first EDGE device that has the -ability- to accommodate the increase of channels?

It was a hardware upgrade made to the 8900 so this isn't available on the 8320.

Your 8320 only utilizes 2 Channels, while the 8900 does 8. this is what makes it faster.

Well crapolla, I had forgotten about the faster EDGE service...and if it's THAT much faster...I may have to break down and buy the 8900 just for the fun of it. I couldn't justify spending the extra cash with "just" an upgraded screen, processor, camera, etc. But the network speed...now that's a different thing all together!

It also has GPS and come pre-loaded with Blackberry Maps too. 
It's going to be my first real blackberry (I've only had this used 7290 for a few weeks) and boy I can't wait!!!
