It does. Well, 19200 BPS or so (2 k per second). Some phones are apparently cappable of "WiDen" which is a bit faster, but they cost more and coverage of WiDen is limited.

Edit: Widen is about 5 times faster. Or so.

For some applications, it is plenty. It won't do streaming radio though, and you probably want to turn off images for web.

I missread the free part, what it should be is "pretty cheap". $20 every 3 months will keep your phone alive, and .20 cents a day will pay for web (which comes out of your $20 balance). After 3 months the web service will cost $18, which comes out of your $20 credit. So its like its free as long as you only use the phone for data and you keep your phone at its minimum balance.

I'm buying a motorola i285 and data cable off of ebay, when they arrive ill report how the service handles. Edit: I bought a i415 from a sprint store instead.
