That's a sharp observation right there...but with all the talk of networks around the world being ground to a halt with all their bandwidth being used up my the increase in mobile browsing, mobile Youtube, VOIP etc...it seems enough people do for Vodafone to put in this cap in the first place...no?]]>May 20th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/

Thats bang on, right there. A data cap is always a scare. You never know when you cross it and what will come up on the bill later. Along with data caps, either operators should implement a way to warn users and advertise that or reduce the browsing speed beyond the data limit to EDGE speeds, but not charge anything per byte beyond that. ]]>May 20th 2010 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
Your correct about the 1GB policy but there is an increased 3GB policy that applies to all android phones.]]>May 20th 2010 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
I use the internet on my phone a lot, but i usually only manage to use about 250 MB out of my 1 GB allowance. So i think 500 MB is not such a bad deal.]]>May 20th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
1gb policy is wnw standard (old) / internet on your phone (new)
3gb policy all wnw+ (included as standard when sold with any android device)
5gb policy on wnw max (old) / mobile internet extra(new) (allows voip)

wnw+ and max/extra allows tethering if the device allows. and costs 12.50 / 22.50 extra a month (unless android then wnw+ is free)

fair usage policies on devices are there to stop tethering hence different policies as t-mo want to sell more standard mobile broadband packages which are more convieniant than tethering for the customer, and create adds for the network.

current fair useage policy states that if you go over they restrict access to downloading / youtube / streaming / iplayer etc between the hours of 4pm and midnight. (normal service between 12 am and 4pm.)

any which way you look at it the value is huge and most people wont ever hit it anyway....and for those that do WIFIIIIIIIIIII! :)]]>May 26th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
Well we've moved from everyone being on £199 feature phones with little to no data usage to £400 smart-phones with always connected apps constantly updating. They could increase the monthly rates to reflect that...or they can guarantee themselves a revenue stream for longer terms. They chose the latter.]]>May 20th 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
I believe you can still get more expensive shorter term rates...I believe it also involves you paying more for the phone up front.

People have now typically gotten used to getting the handset "free" (we know it's not really free) at the point of sale rather than having to outlay so much money right away. You're basically being given a loan at pretty reasonable rates. ]]>May 20th 2010 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/Try having to swallow £43/month on a 3 year, 500MB/month contract with a less subsidized phone...

I was set to buy the Droid Eris, then the Desire, then the Incredible.
This phone better come out soon! But when!
Honestly, if it doesnt come out until the holiday season, it will not be the #1 it is now.
Those 1.3GHz and 1.5GHz snaps are coming out with Win7.

Yes Google maps uses data, but you don't actually need it for navigation. You wont get the map updates but the directions are still relayed in the same way.]]>May 20th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/i made the mistake of using maps as my live wallpaper, didn't think that one through did i.
my advice to anyone getting an android like the desire if you want to use it with all its gadgetery make sure you get at least 750mb of data and a £1 cap per day if you go over, research before, don't pay after. ]]>May 20th 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/May 20th 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/samsung-wave-hits-vodafone-uk-on-june-1-free-on-25-a-month-pla/
