Ok so im planning on getting the Desire HD. I plan on not getting any sort of data plan and only using wifi as data source. I'll be using PAYG.So i've been looking at some videos of setting up sense.
Skip to 1:43. When i reach this part what should i choose? I would have gone with wifi only, but would this mean that GPRS wont work? Is GPRS part of a data plan?
edit:
what would be the ideal settings i should have ticked?

Slightly off topic, but I do suggest that you think about taking out a mobile data plan. Like you I insisted that my Desire would be great only working off WiFi at home- which in truth it was for a couple of months.
I found that I was running out of texts and minutes with my original plan, so when I upgraded I included mobile data for a couple of extra pounds per month.
The difference in the way the phone works and the way I am able to use it is like day and night. The Desire feels.so much more capable as its able to do all the things it was designed to do all of the time , and gone Is the frustration of having to wait till I get home to grab a wifi connection.
Yesterday I was able to take a photo of a tree that had fallen across a gate and email it to the farmer from the middle of a.field so he could identify the location and deal with it before the cows.escaped !
Maybe a bit "rural" but It works for me, and now I wouldnt be without mobile internet.
You will be incredibly limiting yourself without some sort of prepayed data plan. You could even use Skype to avoid costly PAYG phone calls to make up more savings.
Sorry I hate it when people don't answer the question you asked, but I couldn't help it. I don't have an android yet so I don't know how to configure it.

GPRS uses data so if you don't have a mobile internet plan, you can only use it on a wifi connection.
So bottom line
IF you want to use mobile internet on your phone without being connected to wireless hotspot, you will need to pay for a mobile internet package.
That's exactly it, i don't plan on using mobile internet without being connected to a wireless hotspot. Im not so dependant on having a data connection with me everywhere i go.

So in that case, through the setup, you would touch the wifi only option and untick "data enabled" which is in the screenshot as well as data roaming.

How do you find the Tesco mobile service? My device is the Orange version (un-locked) and was thinking of getting one of the Tesco 30 day sims. Is it a case of bung it in and go or do you need to fiddle with a load of settings?

My lil sis just got the £10 a month one, and has been confirmed via Tesco customer services that they are running a promotion on that tariff as they are bundling "unlimited" data for the package..Not bad for a £10 a month I think.
Now on the box itself, small print is 500mb fair usage
Tesco mobile use O2's masts, they also use O2's customer services (calls get routed to O2's outsourced Manvers call center in Rotherham, S Yorkshire).
Simply put in and go..logs on as Tesco on your phone.
Now data..I thought you would have to fiddle..Not for my sis, she just called up Tesco customer services (well its O2 really, but you get the gist) and they provided the settings.
She has the HTC Wildfire which has now been unlocked from the Vodafone network.
