The 1 or 2 just selects from more than one GPRS profile, and thus would only
make a difference if (a) you have more than one profile set up in the phone,
and (b) those two profiles are different. If both conditions are satisfied,
then examine the differences. Otherwise, this is just the luck of the draw --
GPRS performance varies with signal strength, cell load, etc.

There might be some confusion because the MediaWorks package used to
include unlimited data, and it is now 5MB. The MediaNet offerings are on a
different page.

Correct. You can pay $20 to get unlimited data still, but you will not
get MMS or SMS included with it. You'll have to add those on.

And you get a PDA, the data unlimited data package then become $40.

I also wonder what Cingular's policy is regarding tethering?

You can use the $20 unlimited plan with *any* device. (I use it with a
Bluetooth link to a notebook computer.) There is no prohibition on tethering.

Yes.

Have Cingular provision the phone OTA (over the air) for MEdia Net Unlimited;
verify that the phone is working on the Internet; then tether it to your
computer, and setup Windows Dial-up Networking. See my webpages below for
information that can be easily adapted.
