OK, but using GPRS is you phone always connected to the network as a call, i mean, the battery will eb depleted faster. Same as phone call?
I know that if you are not receiving/sending data through GPRS you can call anythime, but if you are getting data the other side will get busy signal..

no your battery won't run down as fast as it would do on a call.
GSM or GPRS choice depends on the cost. GPRS is better, but not if you are paying £7+/mb, especially if you use it to download games/tones etc, but is good for viewing wap pages, as these are very small in kb.

Johim, if your're always no gprs battery will drain fast. Thus prefered service should be on gsm. And you can retrieve calls while on gprs.

GPRS is faster... When you are connected permanently battery will go down, but you will not pay but if you´ll be doing nothing but some data will be still uploaded and downloaded - it´s because of negotiation with network...
