GPRS & Nokia 6010: Newbie Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

The new 6010 has GPRS ... does this mean I can connect the phone to my laptop via a cable and access the internet on my laptop via GPRS?

Or, is the GPRS strictly for accessing IM and WAP functions on the phone?

I downloaded the user manual, and it makes no mention of being able to connect a data cable to the phone. Perhaps this is a standard feature on all Nokia's?

And, what kinds of speed should I expect via a TMobile GPRS connection? Good enough for email and light web surfing?

Finally -- if the 6010 can't provide GPRS data to a laptop, which model would be best? I don't need a fancy phone, just something basic ...
