i use a gprs phone with my laptop, i suppose you could consider it the dsl of the mobiles. (theoretical speeds of upto 171 kpbs), could handle 150 emails no probs! i use it when i'm travelling to cities which generally have good coverage, i don't know what it's like out of them. i'll pm you an informative url on gprs :)

i think it will be quite good, i live near alicante and the coverage is grand, telefonica seem to be doing a good job at the moment Vodafone are in the market quite big here now and i imagine their coverage would also be quite decent :)

thanks for you help. But would you expect majorca to get the some coverage as the mainland?

cos of the pronunciation of the double l, it's closest sounding letters in the english alphabet are j & y , i would have gone with the 'y' but i guess someone preffered the 'j' and it stuck :)
