T-Mobile has set up a data limit for their new G1 phone. 1GB is the limit they have considered initially. After the limit would have been reached you might have gotten more but your speed would have decreased significantly to only 50kbps. We don’t like that do we? Neither does anyone else who is considering buying a new G1 phone.

Don’t get mad a T-Mobile yet. It has already canceled the limit. See for yourself below! They might be capping those people who will stay too much online from their Android device. People, don’t forget you also have computers to play with!

Our goal, when the T-Mobile G1 becomes available in October, is to provide affordable, high-speed data service allowing customers to experience the full data capabilities of the device and our 3G network. At the same time, we have a responsibility to provide the best network experience for all of our customers so we reserve the right to temporarily reduce data throughput for a small fraction of our customers who have excessive or disproportionate usage that interferes with our network performance or our ability to provide quality service to all of our customers.

We removed the 1GB soft limit from our policy statement, and we are confident that T-Mobile G1 customers will enjoy the high speed of data access over our 3G network. The specific terms for our new data plans are still being reviewed and once they are final we will be certain to share this broadly with current customers and potential new customers.

Caps are nothing new to the world’s 3G networks, but T-Mobile’s being particularly stingy with the bytes — 1GB is all you get. Well, technically you can get more than that, but our friends in magenta are reserving the right to throttle you back to a stifling 50Kbps — virtually useless by smartphone standards, and less than what even a good EDGE network is capable of providing. That’s going to be sour news to heavy G1 users, especially as Android touts its stellar connectivity, world-class browser, and a full suite of data-gorging apps. For now, we’re going to cut T-Mob some slack on this since the threat is purely theoretical, but if they start enforcing this little stipulation with a heavy hand, the G1 is going to have to stay in the pocket a little more than we’d like.
