 The dialup-esque transfer rate of ~30kbps I get with my existing GPRS internet is acceptable when on the go, it's the 2000-3000ms of latency and packet loss that make it so darn unusable. It would be nice if they could get the pricing down to where sending a picture won't cost you an arm and a leg, too.
