RTFM
It tells you that GPRS is available
Please use the search. It will even tell you in the manual that came with the phone.

The strange thing is that a few people have asked the same question lately.

well, the strange thing was that someone asked me what it was when he saw my phone, while he himself has the same phone, and he didn't have the strange thing...

so that's why the strange question.. and i guess most people don't read manuals.
after all, your life, your bike, your house and your girlfriend don't come with manuals.. :)

something tells me this is your first SE...

P.S. One more reason to read the manual, though...

Ya, eish.

It good to ask dude, but I think this one should have been easy to fugure out, if you knew that phone has GPRS.

I think manual is a very usefull thing, read them otherwise
some people will tell you that you asking ..lly questions.

Reading the manual is a GOOD idea, it often says little things and tricks that's real handy to know.

hmmmm. I see the shape in question on my W800, but I don't find any reference to it in any of the manuals. I assume from the above discussion that it indicates that GPRS is available, but it's nowhere in the docs....

Beats me, why the use of adjectives like 'funny' 'strange' need be there :-? And I have seen bikes with some Instruction Sets. But I guess he's right on one count- Had there been a To Not to say - To Say, To Do - To "you'd better not" do list and other instructions, for men to handle their partners, it would be helpful.
