Hi,


GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is the connection to the network you're making, in particular when you're using things like internet and data. GPRS is an earlier form of coverage which was eventually suceeded by a faster speeds known as 3G. EDGE falls somewhere in between so chances are it'll be a little faster than the GPRS (The difference between EDGE and 3G)

 

More reading on Wikipedia if you want it :smileyhappy:

 

Regarding the memory card situation, I'd really check this with the store you bought it from to see what the deal is they're selling :smileyhappy:
