This is a *phone*. The capped rate is still pretty decent compared to a normal non-3G mobile phone (ie. a couple of times the bandwidth). What exactly is the problem here? 1GB per month is a common transfer limit for home ADSL connections. This is a *phone*.

(I synch my phone wirelessly, and all my calendar and contact data is on an MS Exchange server) I think that this limit is too small. 5 GB might be appropriate, but 1 is just not enough.

So 50 Kilobits per second = 6.4 Kilobytes per second

Now that's what I call Crippling a connection.
