I don't have a Desire, but will be getting possibly the Desire HD or the next big release here in Europe. Anyway im planning on using a pay as you go plan, so im not going to have 3G. I'll mainly be using wifi.

So i just wanted to know if its possible to download any data using GPRS (i believe its called). Its really slow, but i could use it to check email and whatnot. Does the Desire allow this, or should u be on either wifi or 3G for it to work?

first of all i am on pay as you go and i get hsdpa connection.

secondly you will be able to use all features on gprs if no 3g/hsdpa connection available, it will just be slower.
