You get this little characters you can fight with, you go into the arena and the fight happens by itself. It's pretty neat, and a good time waster for a couple minutes a day.

T-Mobile Services / 3G data limitation

« on: October 14, 2008, 06:22:43 pm »

For most this won't apply, so no one needs to point this out to try to up their post count.


Figured I would mention something that was brought up to my attention during the G1 training.

On the 3G network the data usage will be watched, and limited if needed.

Now, the average usage of someone with a PDA, or any internet capable device is roughly 60-100MB a month. Some more, some less of course.
If you reach in one bill cycle, a usage of 10GB on the 3G network, your data services will be severely slowed down to a mere 50kbps (Less than that of dial-up).

Details are apparently supposed to appear in future contracts.

My details are a bit fuzzy, and I don't remember exact information, but they did in fact say "50kbps, less than dial-up)

For those who are even remotely tech savvy, you know that reaching 10GB would nearly take you browsing the web almost endlessly on a normal PDA device. With the G1 I think this will be reached much faster though given all the downloading everyone will be doing.

Edit: I believe they said you would be notified by SMS if this happened to you as well.

G1 Discussion / G1 Presales. Actual numbers.

Sorry to beat a dead horse here....as I've noticed is a commonly used phrase...except in picture form from what I've seen :p


The email I received on 10/09/08 stated this information.

From September 23rd - October 3rd 5:30pm PST Presale Stage 1 sold 63,000 units.
(Will be received on Oct 22nd.)

Presale Stage 2 From October 3rd after 5:30pm PST - October 9th (When I received the email.) Had sold almost 12,000 units. (Will be received Nov 10th.)

Almost 13,000 units were pre-ordered in the New York area alone.


These are the official numbers. If it weren't for the fact I loved my job I'd screenshot the email. This Fool.com 1.5m stuff is foolishness, and the website URL should say that by itself.

Just tired of seeing people argue about the numbers.
