T-Mobile 1Gb/mo limit?

[eRockx]

I found this article, http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/23/t-mobile-soft-capping-3g-data-at-1gb-per-month/, that talks about a 1Gb of bandwidth per month before the connection is throttled from 1.8Mb/s to 50Kb/s or your account suspended.

I would think this limitation would be antithetical to Google's pushing Youtube playback.

This changes my decision to definitely buy one when they come out in Oct to a maybe. Anyone else feel that way?

Thanks,
Eric

well thats news to me. this will have a big negative reaction, why would they do all the dumb things like apple and att. I guess I will stick with the iphone because tmobile has not capped my usage.

Yea, t-mobile has already changed their policy, http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/1700ap_tec_t_mobile_google_phone.html. However, they say nothing is final yet, so who knows what will happen.

This is enough to make me wait for when they actually come out in Oct though.

Thanks,
Eric

T-Mobile has since pulled that limit so rest a little easier. See newer articled at Engadget and elsewhere.
