GSM will be slower than GPRS as GSM can only connect at 9.6 kbps. I think GPRS is at least 40 kbps (not sure). In one of my many calls to cingular, they told me GSM can be compaired to dial-up internet and GPRS can be compaired to broadband internet. I tried to get GSM with cingular but for some reason it would not connect to the internet (Cingular denied that it could work even though their website said it could) So i'm stuck with 1 MB of GPRS. I'm not sure if my GSM problem is something w/ Cingular (probably it is) but be warned you may have to choose GPRS. (Check with your provider with what options you have, and call back a few times as each time I called Cingular they gave me a different answer.)

GPRS can goes upto 53K. However, the speed is limited by the cellular device and the provider's GPRS gateway.

GSM (or CSD Circuit Switched Data) can go up to 28.8 if your network supports HSCSD (few do). Most networks are stuck at 9.6
Many networks do not support CSD at all, so you can't dial-up to your ISP using airtime.
GPRS speed is hardly "broadband" like. The fact that it can be "always on" would be the only similarity. And if you are not setting up your phone to check email automatically or accept WAP push, it doesn't use extra battery power.

would like to know if someone else also has problems synchronizing sony ericsson Z 600 with PC. I could not download the comm suite from the CD provided by the manufacturer as it could not copy emos.ini but then I successfully downloaded it from SE website. I am using a craddle to synchronize..I am not sure if that is the problem but it is unable to make a connectivity btw my mobile and teh PC. I have checked the ports alright..I use palm handheld so I am familiar with synchronization procedure but never had problems like this.
I don't have bluetooth in my PC so cannot use that way to synchronize...
i will really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.
thanks
Best wishes
