On the other hand, I think my means of obtaining a G1 may have the answer to that problem. My plan is to upgrade to an iPhone- I'm on AT&T, while my friend, who is on T-Mo, upgrades to a G1, then we basically trade (with some $ changing hands too). Neither of us wants the data plan, but we have to buy into them when we buy the phones, along with the 2 year service agreement.
My understanding is that neither of us has to keep the data plan for any amount of time after purchase, so should I just be sure to activate the G1 before I cancel the data plan?
On the other hand, I'm not sure I would have any extra costs on my monthly service bill if I signed up for the data plan then ended up canceling it before I had used any data.
I'm leaving the iPhone unlock up to my friend, doing the G1 myself.

Sounds like a good plan, will you be able to cancel the iPhone plan without too much hassle?
Unfourtunatley, you do have to transfer some cell data to activate the G1. I was able to get my unlocked G1 activated by temporarily enabling data and disabling it as soon as the activation was complete. I did have to pay a little bit on AT&T's per KB rate, but it was worth it.
