That's true, but from my experience, you need at least UMTS or WiFi connection (GPRS is too slow) and VGA PPCPE (even with VGA the screen is still really constrained) to be able to really do something.
And even then it's just a quick fix sollution, to do some simple tasks remotelly, it's not even close to beeing good enough for longer use of full applications, and any multimedia use is out of the question.
