@orangeman, for that sort of money you could ge a wo way satalite connection, not very mobile i know but it will work anywhere. If these mad pricing schemes continue into 3G is definately won't be worth it. I don't care that the government ripped them off over the licences, this sort of pricing structure is extortionate.

yeah well - i've finally got my palm Sony CLIE set up with GPRS.
Yes - at the moment it is a rip off - in most countries. as there are only 3 carriers in AU, they form an oligopoly (probably the same in most countries), and i doubt prices are going to go down for sometime. GPRS is a very new technology, and would you care to remember how much people paid for mobile phones about 5 years ago - certainly a hell of a lot more, than they do today.
We can't really do much about it - we'll just have to wait.
thanks,
Seb

orange will soon have an 'unlimited' gprs bundle for wap only @ £4.00 per month - 'unlimited' meaning a fair use policy of 10mb - which in comparison is a bargain!!

The Swedish TELIA network offers a few fifferent rates:
1: $10/month for 5 Mb
2: $30/month for 25Mb.
I use the first opption as I dont do much mobile websurfing, mostly WAP.

In my country our only GPRS capable operator gives it for FREE. No date set for when they'll start billing.
Dialog GSM is the best.

In Hungary we have 3 operators, the one I'm on (Pannon GSM) is the best! There are two possible GPRS WAP payment methods:
(1) Pay per kilobyte, then it's €0.00104/kbyte after 6pm (very cheap!), or €0,00333/kbyte between 8am and 6pm.
(2) Or,,, (since the middle of this month) you can pay €2.20 monthly for unlimited WAP access, and that includes data-call based WAP also! My T68i is almost constantly online, I have it check emails every 5 minutes
Best deal in Europe, I think.

@orangeman
£4.00 unlimited GPRS bundle.
What exactly do you mean, "WAP only"? Does it just exclude surfing the web on your laptop, connected to your phone via GPRS?
Any idea on when "soon" is?
