Which is fine if WAP access is what you want. AFAIK you will need the internet APN for anything besides WAP, i.e. email and other networking apps.

Uhm. Obviously.

You do
not want CSD, trust me. Packet is just fine.

No. Data carrying mechanisms in UMTS are basically equivalent to GPRS. That's why there's no distinction between those in that regard.
CSD or HSCSD are indeed more or less like good old classic modem data calls. Again, you most likely don't want that.

Yes. See above.

Bingo. Your mobile should also be indicating if you have 3G or just 2.5G coverage. Not having a gumboot phone myself, I can't say what should show up on yours. Others actually show "2G" "2.5G" or "3G", possibly "UMTS" or nasty little cryptic symbols.
