The fine print in T-Mobile's new HTC Android G1 data plan shows that it has a soft cap of 1GB of data transfer per month. If that 1GB limit is exceeded, T-Mobile reserves the right to throttle back the speeds at which the 3G network can be accessed down to 50Kbps.

Very easy to consume

I reset my data counter a week ago on this iPhone, and im already at 1.2GB download again. A powerful phone on a 3G network is very dangerous.

Folks, Wow! Yes, 1GB is a VERY small amount on a data-centric 3G device. This is like having a sports car and never going past 50 m.p.h.! I have the 3G Iphone and I go though that amount of data in no time. You have to think everytime you go into...
