I have T-mobile and an SDA.
They are not banning applications from their network, they just
aren't letting the cheapest account use them. I pay for the 29/month
data plan and my 3rd party apps work just fine. (Google maps and my
funambol mail sync application) This is over hyped sensationalzed
crap. If you want data service you have to pay for it.

Yep saw that in Slashdot, bit of confusion are they cracking down on
existing data levels for cheaper data offerings (something called
TZones
or similar) or if totally banning.
Point is, vote with your feet and go to cingular or someone else.

Subject: t-mobile bans user's own apps
It appears that T-Mobile has just started banning third-party
applications from running on phones they provide cellular service to.
Grumble. Before this they seemed to have the best GSM deal in this
part of the world (San Francisco Bay Area, USA).

"This means T-Mobile feature phone users are prohibited from
surfing the Web with Opera Mini, checking maps on Google Local
for
Mobile, listening to podcasts with Mobilcast, and using any other
form of software not pre-approved by T-Mobile."
I wonder how they'll react to an open phone where code like this
comes
as a "factory option".
