With GPRS, you can stay connected to the Internet and allow for faster downloads without completing a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS include the browser, and text messaging.

Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) is similar to GPRS but the connection is up to 3 times as fast.

To use the EDGE service, subscribe to it from your service provider and save the GPRS settings for the functions that you want to use over the EDGE network. For information on pricing, availability, and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.

When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EDGE instead of GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between EDGE and GPRS, but for some applications, such as browsing WAP or XHTML pages, you may be able to select either GPRS or CSD.

DEFINE GPRS CONNECTION

Depending on your service, you may be able to define when the phone connects to the GPRS or EDGE network.

From the menus, select Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS Connection and one of the following:

When needed—The phone registers and connects to the GPRS or EDGE network only if you use a function that needs the GPRS service. Establishing a connection may take longer than when Always online is selected.

Always online—The phone automatically registers to a GPRS or EDGE network when you switch the phone on, if the network is available in your location.

GPRS ICONS

The following icons appear in the upper left corner of the screen to show you the status of your GPRS connection.

Indicates that the GPRS connection mode is Always online and the GPRS service is available.

Indicates that the GPRS connection has been interrupted by a voice call or text message. The phone tries to reestablish the connection after the call.

Indicates an active GPRS connection, for example, when you are using the browser.

3200 specifications

The Nokia 3200, released in 2003, is one of the notable entries in Nokia's lineup of mobile phones, targeting a youthful audience with its unique design and robust features. As one of the first phones to incorporate a camera in a compact format, it played an essential role in the evolution of mobile photography.

The Nokia 3200 features a distinctive, colorful design with a removable faceplate that encouraged personalization, a significant trend at the time. Its easy-to-hold shape and relatively lightweight construction make it comfortable for daily use. The phone's display is a 128 x 128 pixel monochrome screen, which may seem minimal by today’s standards, but it was suitable for basic tasks like texting and browsing contacts.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 3200 is its built-in VGA camera. With a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, users could capture moments on the go, although the image quality was limited compared to modern standards. The camera also allowed for basic editing features, enabling users to add frames and effects to their pictures.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 3200 supports GSM networks, making it reliable for voice calls and SMS messages. It does not support 3G or 4G, as these technologies were not yet widespread during its production. However, it featured WAP browsing capabilities, which enabled users to access limited internet services and email, a novel feature at that time.

The Nokia 3200 comes equipped with a range of built-in ringtones and supported downloadable polyphonic ringtones, which appealed to younger users looking to customize their devices. It also has a variety of pre-installed games, adding entertainment value for users beyond communication.

Battery life for the Nokia 3200 is commendable, offering up to 4.5 hours of talk time and over 300 hours on standby, ensuring that it could keep users connected throughout the day.

The phone’s memory is expandable via a Pop-Port connector, allowing users to enhance their storage capacity for images and contacts. Overall, the Nokia 3200 embodies the simple yet effective technology of the early 2000s, catering to a generation eager to embrace mobile communication and personalization in a new and innovative way. Its impact is a reminder of how far mobile technology has come and its lasting influence on the design philosophy in modern smartphones.
