This might be sommin already discussed in the past... so sorry if im re-bugging you! What exactly is HSCSD?
I know it stands for High Speed Circuit Switched Data...
but what does it do exactly and where can it be used?
Are there any known telcos that are offering HSCSD based service?

HSCSD speeds are between 14,4 - 43,2 kbit/sec.
depending how many GSM channels are used.

Yeh I know what you mean... Im starting out with T-Mobile they were one of the first to start GPRS services in this country but now they are listed as a non-GPRS provider (according to website)... Carfone Warehouse/Phones4U are telling me otherwise... I wonder wether they will ever offer HSCSD... {dream}
