GPRS REALLY SUCKS To:Benjamin Garrett who wrote (10832) From: Dennis Roth Tuesday, May 22, 2001 7:14 AM View Replies (1) \| Respond to of 10839 >> When will GPRS function? << GPRS functions. It's just that BT's too stupid to make sure handsets have the latest firmware and work before conducting a demonstration for the press. BT launched their consumer GPRS service monday. Consumer GPRS service launches today; BT Cellnet launches the UK's first consumer GPRS service e-topics.com. But most GPRS networks lie idle while they wait for handsets. Lack of handsets delays GPRS launch technology.scmp.com Still only the Motorola handset available. >> How will functioning be defined if GPRS functions? << A lot slower than originally promised. The only functioning handset provides two-plus-one, meaning one time slot up and two slots down yielding only 13 kbps to 20 kbps data speed. But always on, which is a big improvement over the Manx Telecom 64Kbps circuit switched non-mobile service.
