Packet data
General packet radio service (GPRS) is a network service that allows mobile 
phones to send and receive data over an Internet protocol (IP) based network. 
GPRS is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data networks such as the 
Internet.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS but enables faster connections. For 
more information on availability of EGPRS or GPRS and data transfer speed, 
contact your network operator or service provider.
The applications that may use EGPRS or GPRS are MMS, video streaming, 
browsing sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application downloading, and 
the PC dial-up.
When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead of 
GPRS, if this is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and 
GPRS, but for some applications you may be able to select GPRS or 
GSM data
 
(circuit switched data, CSD).
