Only a day after the release of the eagerly expected Google Android phone from T-Mobile, the mobile company decided to erase a 1 GB data cap from its service policy for the new G1 smart phone. It seems the cell phone service provider intended to limit 3G data usage on the phone to 1GB.

The company sent out a statement late Wednesday, saying that it has removed the 1GB "soft limit" from its data policy statement, probably as a response to the public complaints that spread across the internet. "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," T-Mobile said.

Android was supposed to come out as an easier platform for developers to work with. The device is developed and manufactured by HTC, and called the Dream. Android represents the basis of the new device which also comes with a new Linux-based operating system for smartphones being developed by Google and a group of partners. The device is strongly tied to Google online services.

T-Mobile had placed a 1GB limit on data transfer on the G1. Moreover, besides this limit, the company said that they were free to slow down the user’s connectivity to as little as 50kbps.

T-Mobile explained that despite the fact that the soft limit has been dropped, at least for now, it has the right to make sure it has enough precious 3G bandwidth for everybody. The company’s actions seem to indicate that the download limit and bandwidth throttling isn't entirely off the table.
