So, still thinking about a new mobile and i haven't decided yet. So one of my questions is, GPRS, do you use it a lot on your phone? (And on a sidenote, can you use GPRS with Vodafone if you don't have a Vodafone life phone?)

Also I'm wondering what the difference is between WAP 1.2.1 and WAP 2.0, does it matter much?

Thanks in advance,
Llhorian

A normal day I use GPRS for 2-3 hours. WAP 2.0 supports ie. pressing 0 to in to the last post in thread here at Esato, haven't seen that feature on so many other pages tough.

I use gprs everyday to check websites such as esato and Uboot. However for some reason i cant check emails using my gprs. I got my phone in january wher vodafone were doing free mms and gprs. Im on smart step say as you go tariff and for some reason gprs is still free. I get free mms using Nowmms.com

Yup! Not a day passes by that i don't use gprs. Will continue to do so as it is still free. Once my network starts charging ---bye bye! Maybe I'll still use it for downloads :D

Use it a lot since its free here in the Philippines for the t68i's email,WAP and with web browser on my Tungsten. Can't imagine life without GPRS since its so convenient. You can even send faster sms through it.

Miss uk grps is a way of connecting through wap... not something different than wap itself.

I used GPRS 10 hours the first month when i got my t68i... I like it, but it's too expensive now on my swiss network, so I don't use it as much. However sending SMS's through GPRS is soo cool cause it takes like 2 secs...

Well, my online-time counter on a Nokia 3330 I owned showed about 10 hours of time after a year...

My T68i counter is now on 243 hours, that's also after about a year...

So yeah, I use GPRS very frequently, not only to connect to wap, but also to connect my laptop to the internet through Bluetooth
