HTC Touch HD video walk-through:

T-Mobile announced that the HTC G1’s subscribers would be able to have unlimited data transfer for just $35 per month on Tuesday, September 23, just after the release of Google’s Android Phone. However, according to a later post on the official website, subscribers would be limited to only 1GB of data transfer per month. On Thursday, T-Mobile said that the data limit policy had been removed.

What T-Mobile will announce next is anybody’s guess.
