This would significantly improve my battery life instead of leaving gprs connected all day when it is not in use.

Go to settings, internet connections, choose "always ask", then save.

To manually connect to the web, you can either tap on the web "globe icon", any bookmark site,etc. It will prompt you to connect to internet or GPRS.

To connect or disconnect just tap the top screen icons (battery or 3g/2G network icon). A drop down menu will appear. Info about battery, profile, clock.alarm, internet connections, bluetooth, usb. Tap the internet connection and will give you options/selections. from there you can connect or disconnect from internet.

I wish I could show you screen shots but don't know how to do screen shots.
