HSCSD is probably indeed a winner given the current state of 
technology then. Browsing at 28.8 over GSM is reasonably ok. If you 
have the option of optimising the content, it can be very workable at 
a paltry 9k6 (Try browsing Yahoo! It's impressive just how good it 
is). I'm not aware of a definitive list of HSCSD capable GSM 
networks - if you find one, it'd be very useful to know! Vodafone UK 
does not support HSCSD by the way (although Orange does).

That said, the GPRS sleeves & PC cards are generally HSCSD capable,
so you can have your cake and eat it.
