What do HSDPA and GPRS internet capability mean?

Am buying a new phone and am trying to choose between a HTC Smart and a Huawei Touch. The HTC Smart has HSDPA internet capability and the Huawei Touch has GPRS internet capability. What do these mean and which is better?

Update:

Does the HSDPA internet capability have all the same things as GPRS internet capability?? Does it just do everything faster??

    GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a 2G network its speed is about 70 KB/second

    HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is a 3G network its speed is up to 14 MB/second

    So HSPA is faster than GPRS

    Internet capability means internet speed

    For more information open these links:

    GPRS = general packet radio service. used to transfer data over a gsm network to and from mobile phones. HSDPA = high speed downlink packet access. its the new 3.5G so the HSDPA will be faster. as in gprs versus 3g, 3g would be faster.
