Icon Bar 3: Battery (Each bar corresponds to 20% of the total charge.)

When you tap the GPRS Monitor icon on the title bar, a pop-up window opens and shows you detailed statistics about data transfers, such as the data size just transferred and its cost, the data amount left that you are allowed to transfer, and more.
