The Internet is packet switched, meaning each individual packet is routed from the source to the destination separately, and possibly through different paths. An example of a circuit-switched network would be the telephone network, where a connection from one end to the other is created and maintained until the call is disconnected.
Computer networks would be packet switched whereas a phone network would be circuit switched. Obviously packet switched are going to be alot more reliable and apparantly cheaper and less harder on the environment.
Here's from the N800 Manual: To use a packet switched data service in a cellular network, such as GPRS, select Packet Data. To use a circuit switched data service in a cellular network, such as HSCSD, select Data Call.
In a packet-switched data network, what is used to reassemble the packets in the correct order at the destination device?
PSTN stands for Public switched telephone network PSDN stands for Public switched Data network / Packet Switched Data Network. The basic difference between two is the switching technique used. PSTN uses Circuit Switching and PSDN uses Packet Switching
ISDN
The PPS was a packet switched network employed by the British Telecom. It was based on X.25 which is a standard protocol suite for WAN communication. Introduced in the early 80s, this network is fairly old and as such its last node was switched off back in 2006.

These are types of switches used in networks. A packet-switched network moves data in separate units called packets which are then assembled to create the message. Circuit switched networks send continuously but require dedicated point-to-point connections.
