Help Forced to the edge.

Yeah, I think T-Mobile is essentially putting the entire Android community/owners group on a little of a "trial-run-let's-see-how-you-handle-this" deal where they leave it up to the community and developers to be responsible. But it's only a few clicks of buttons to turn caps, overage charges, etc on.
But just ONE torrent download of the Dark Knight won't hurt...will it!?

There is an option to use 2G only to save battery in the settings.

Nice find pud. The G1 can still be very useful even on a 2G network, in my opinion. The contacts, calendar, email, and communication apps don't suck to much bandwidth for normal usage. Unless you're YouTubing or downloading large apps, etc., it might be a good idea to hop on the wave of the not-so-distant past.

And while i'm at it - this could be a very, very, (very!?) good thing for a developer to implement into Android. A way to very quickly switch from 2G to 3G and back again. Possibly a long press of a physical button or something therabouts.

I know I would switch between 2G and 3G a whole lot as long as it was easy. I always find myself turning on/off my WiFi to save battery life, and switching from 3G to 2G would do the same thing...maybe I'll post this in the app suggestion thread.
