GPRS is better than a GSM connection for data that's transferred in larger "chunks." And unlike voice calls and dial-up Internet connections, you pay for how much you transfer, not for how long you're connected. You can have an active GPRS connection all the time if you like, which is nice if you need to synchronize periodically with a network or if you're expecting an important email.
