GPRS phones are very hot items on the [mapalad] mailing list.
Since this is OT anyway, I have a few questions:
1. What is the difference between GPRS and the usual GSM technology?
Do I need GPRS?
2. Using a normal WAP phone, I can wap-browse, but there is no
wap content out there, and the current per minute charge is so
discouraging. No one wants to wap-browse only to get nothing
but pay an arm and a leg for such non-service. Is the situation
better with a GPRS phone? Can you do a real HTML browse with
GPRS phones?
3. What is the cheapest good enough Nokia GPRS phone? How much is
it selling today? Is today the right time to buy one?
