I have friends who have been using gprs services both of Orange and Airtel for some time. As a primary connection, it is neither good nor bad. I get speeds between 30-40kbps. On downloads, I get throughput of 32.5 to 3.9 KB per sec., depending on location timing and other factors.
Actually airtel has been offering this faclity for almost a year. Orange offers the same facility for Rs. 499 per month.
The problem you are more likely to face is getting drivers for the gprs modems built into the mobiles. There are drivers for windows, but not on linux
