GPRS Phones Reach the AmericasBy America can stake a bit more claim on the wireless world thanks to the recent announcement by Nokia to release a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)-enabled wireless phone by the end of 2001.
"As the next step on the road to the third generation, GPRS will bring a new level of wireless connectivity that will deliver advanced wireless services that consumers in the Americas want and need," said K.P. Wilska, president of Nokia, Inc. The GPRS-enabled Nokia 8390 can quickly access data by using its Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) mobile Internet browser or by connecting to a PC using its integrated infrared port. The Nokia 8390 supports the most recent WAP release, WAP 1.2.1, which enables the possibility of 'push' services like continuous news updates. The newest WAP release also allows for the optional use of 'cookies,' so that information from a previous session can be recalled without entering data for a second time. |

The Nokia 8390 (GSM/GPRS 1900) uses GPRS technology, which allows users to stay connected to the Internet using packet switching technology that transmits information via short bursts or packets. This allows for faster downloads of information and no time spent completing a dial-up connection. Users can remain connected to information or entertainment services and logged in to the Internet or email account without having to maintain a continuous phone call.
