in other words, can you get online with a lower-case gprs network connection, not GPRS. why is the browser ``disabled'' in the device, even if your SIM card is enabled for browsing in ``other normal'' handhelds'' i.e. the nokias and motorolas...thanks

No, you cannot. the G P R S Each stand for something. Much like NXTL vs nxtl. Two of them are Data svc active, and two of them are Voice svc active. I cannot remember the order, but for example if you have GPrs on the screen, you have full voice, but no data services.
The blackberry must have the data services to talk to the webclient (or BES)
