Good news for you. Even if you're in an area with bad cell phone
reception, GPRS will still work. If your main focus is GPRS, then don't
worry about reception just make sure you have contact with a T-Mo cell
site other wise it won't work even if you have GSM. I mention this
because a lot of times when people are "roaming" on Cingular or ATT,
even though you don't pay for roaming, you cannot access T-MO web. So
make sure before you make the final commitment that everything works
where you need it to ie; GPRS.
