T-Mobile G1 has push Gmail with Google Talk presence {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 23rd 2008 6:21PM Will IM and/or email messages in GMail be metered on the $25 data plan?
The $25 plan limits "messages" to 400. Web access is unlimited.
"Messages" are defined as "text, picture, video and IM". So I'm guessing that the IMs you send and receive in this GMail app are indeed metered. :-(
But what happens if you access the web-based GMail through the web browser? Will IM be metered there, too?
Hopefully email messages are not metered. Although they are "messages" in the generic sense, they aren't explictly included in the above definition.
I've been using a Treo for years on T-Mobile, where $6/month ($72/year) enables unlimited web, email (Chatter), and IM (Toccer). To get that on the G1 costs $420/year. Granted, the G1 does a whole lot more, but if 90% of the utility is in the first $72, the extra $348 only adds 10%, it's not so compelling an upgrade.
My guess is that that's a bug in the checkout code, and if you try to take advantage of it, something unpleasant will happen in the future, such as letter from T-Mobile saying "sorry, we couldn't deliver your G1 because you didn't select a data plan". But who knows?
