@zdnet, the capability of fast ir port is more than enough for throughput of gprs and edge. Regards

If Ur handset is EDGE enabled then U could expect download speed between 16 & 25 KB/sec depending on the service in Ur location...call 121 then 1 then 4 & then 4 again 2 find out through airtels GPRS technical department abt Ur area.
But since 508i ain't EDGE enabled, don't expect nething more than 8KB/sec period.

I forgot to mention that I used download speeds both the places considering U would use it to download off net so didn't mention the browsing speed which if U don't know already is abt 8 times the download speed.
