Well basically gprs is 2,5G, the 3G is a faster network (3rd generation network).
3G is also called UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System).
Max speed could be 2MB, enough for both live video and sound.
You should be able to find out more about it, e.g. on Yahoo or any other search-machine.

No I just work for Ericsson (EricssonRadioSystem),  just makes the phones and accessories.
Ericsson does the network eqipment for 3G and for GSM also, but not here in Gävle anymore, or not for long.
I work as a technican here, faultfinding and more.

Just so you know for 3G this 2Mbit is just a pipe dream.......... you will be lucky to get 128 to 384 kbits...... |

2Mbit is technical possible, but yes it will take some time before we actually see any speeds near that.
Like Telia calling their ADSL service for broadband. They deliver 512Kb/s but its possible to speed it up to 3 or if´s 6Mbit, but then want to make so much money as possible i guess, then raise the speed.
Telia really su*ks. 
And yes the speed you mention is what we can expect in the beginning of 3G.

well, only one network support gprs here, and we won't get full benefits for years, so 3g will come here in 20 years
yep, about there... i can feel it

3G = 3rd Generation....
In general, it should be known as UMTS.
It is an exact replica of GSM network with GPRS (looking at GSM Core network perspective) but has better bandwidth capacity...hence, provide faster throughput.
GPRS uses Frame Relay at at Gb interface whereas 3G uses ATM at the Iu interface.
GSM/GPRS uses SIM whereas 3G uses USIM.
The list go on and on....
You can get lots of details on the net...

I would disagree with the fact that 2Mbit is technical possible, but more theoretically possible. It is also theoretically possible to go way above 2Mbit on a 3G system as well. The only work to be done on these high speeds on a WCDMA is in labs so 2Mbits is a pipe dream as well as how the operators will use it in the NW. So the press and the vendors don't always tell the truth..... but still 384 kicks GPRS ass in |
