Cingular supports both CSD and GPRS, although like you state, you have 
to choose one or the other. The biggest pain is that about every 6 
weeks, the CSD system goes down, and when you call service, hardly any 
of the techs knows anything other than GPRS. For me, I dl about 1 MB of 
email every nite (using my free nites and weekends time) to read 
offline the next day, so I am willing to live with slower speed at the 
expense of paying a per-byte charge.
