You can look at it this way:

WAP is the WWW (internet) for the mobile phone/device, whilst GPRS is the data transmission technology that connects the internet (as in ADSL, Cable,...).

You connect using GPRS to the WAP-net.

Wap is the application of your device and gprs helps its function.

The wap settings will be csd dial up, usually charged at a constant rate(10p a min on o2 uk), the gprs settings still connect to wap, but that's only charged every time you load a page. Usually cheaper.

what they said...

gprs is also used to send pics to other mobiles.. its just a data network, 3g is the same only its so fast the live video streaming is also possible!!

wap is the same as the internet but for mobiles!
