GPRS is short for General Packet Radio Service it is also a way to enhance 2G phones to enable them to send and recieve data at an increased rate.
With a GPRS connection, the phone is "always on" and can transfer data immediately, and at a higher speeds. An additional advantage is that data can be transferred at the same time as making a voice call.
GPRS is part of a series of technologies that are designed to move 2G networks closer to the performance of 3G networks. The key characteristic of a 3G network is its ability to transfer large amounts of data at high speed. This then enables applications such as video calls, video downloads, web browsing and emails. Some of these applications become possible by increasing the speeds of a 2G network, these technologies are calles 2.5G and include enhancements to the CSD (Circuit Switchboard Data) technology.
Personally i think that GPRS is a huge advantage because if you like your current phone, but it doesn't have 3G, you can use GPRS to increase the speeds of your 2G network so you can be able to video call people that maybe live far away, download videos onto your phone and the use of other great applications become possible.
The Picture is a bit complicated
