General information about GPRS can be found here. Theoretically, GPRS data rates can reach close to 170k. Voicestream's per-packet charges are quite expensive, ($40 for 10MB) but it's an always-on 28k-56k data connection available in most metropolitan areas."

    Yes.. it happened 3 weeks ago.. I would think that the mourning period would be over by now.. Its time to move on.. there's no point in lurking in the past.. might as well look forward to the cool things happening now in the present and hope that more cool things like this happen in the future without any more bad stuff happening!
