Hey Pal.... Thats because Vodafone GPRS speed is not uptoo the mark. If u have opted for the packet data plan of 799pm. than i suppose it will become instant. but even than I was very dissapointed with the speed as i am always connected to OVI,Skpye and Gtalk on my phone. So i opted for MTNL 3G card..and it ROCKS!!! Just cross ur finger and wait for 3g plan to come to Vodafone soon or buy the MTNL 3g Sim and u will rule ur phone!
