I have a GPRS phone from T-moble, Ericsson T-610, with full internet access. I have the internet on it so that my laptop can use it as a modem for when I'm on the road. For this it works great allowing my to surf at 128k without even taking the phone out of my pocket, it talks to my laptop using Bluetooth.

It also allows me to surf on the phone itself with WAP enabled web sites. This is just painful to do and there is barely enough room on the display for the text never mind trying to get any images in there. There are phones with bigger displays, my rich neighbor bought one for $800, but the phone is so damn big that I can't see a lot of people buying one even if the price came down. Anyway even with its much larger display it is still way to small to browse web sites comfortable. At best it can play silly simple games and being so big it is really not a good phone to carry around. He is already not using it and carrying his much smaller phone instead.
