i guess i read that like, you didn't think you'd break the 1gb barrier on the 3G network, but on EDGE you would....my bad

Got ya. No, what I was explaining (and I could have said it clearer, I guess) is that I'm sure I will download more than 1 GB per month with my phone, but very little of it will be over 3G. I see 3G being, for me, just a "gap filler" between wifi networks.

Also, lets not forget we'll still have browsing at 50kbps, which is still 8-10x faster than dialup. A lot of us dealt with dialup at home for years, so what's the biggie about having a not-3g-but-faster-than-dialup connection on a mobile device.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I'd still rather have 3G available when its needed.

Anyways, as its been repeated over and over. T-Mobile has the right too, but it doesn't mean they'll actually do it.
