Exactly. If you listen closely, very closely, the begining part of the "brown eyed girl..." part is very chipmunky and then comes back down to a more normal pitch. There's no doubt in my mind that it's a pro tools effect, which is fine, people use it all the time. I think it was more for effect than anything...
a very very quick edit of the browneyed part (292kb):

I think you're right - it's Bono, but it's been modified. The Edge and Bono have two very different singing styles - The Edge just doesn't put that much oomph into his voice - he's a very calm singer. It's not the sound of the voice, but the style of it that leads me to think it's Bono - with a bit of help from the mixing desk.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I can only go by what I hear.
