Do Windows Mobile Phones & iPhones work with only Basic GPRS enabled (Net on Phone) ?

Someone told me they don't have any option to configure basic GPRS and work with only Advanced GPRS.

Technically speaking, Windows Mobile Devices should be able to connect to the internet using Internet.

No.i am talking about NOP i.e basic GPRS.

It seems from other replies that it doesn't work.

^^NOP by Airtel is a pure WAP connection..I use it on a regular basis on my Imate KJAM (HTC Wizard) ! So,if Vodafone also provides a similar connection,I dont see any reasons why it would not work on HTC Touch!

EDGE works fine on both windows mobile (HTC touch) and iPhone . I found the iPhone to be a little faster tough . Tested in Pune .
