Yes, the G1 has it's own tariff on T-Mobile, it's due to the G1 chatting 
to Google 24/7.
You can't get the tariff  without buying a G1.
I've had mine six months and used a lot of bandwidth, can't say how much 
exactly but a lot...
No ones, complained to me yet... And I use the Last.FM app to stream 
music, it's brilliant, as long as you've remembered to charge the battery!

The cheapest tariff they do is £25/month, 200 txts/200mins (though I 
think I got a special with 400 txts), and I paid £40 (I think) for the 
phone.
I don't you'll beat it, on sim only deal, and having to pay for the G1.
