I've noticed (quite a long time ago) that Dataplan Monitor shows excessive traffic usage. I was wondering what application is responsible for that.. as nethogs app is available now, i tracked it down. Turned out to be a nasty bug:
RSS reader DOES NOT honor "update via WiFi" choice in the settings
Actually it performs full background automatic update even while connected via GPRS. Unlimited data plan is not available for my contract, so it costs me - ~10Mb per $.32 = $3 a time. Do that 3 times a day when no wifi is nearby and $10 is gone. Let that happen four times a month - and there is $40. Totalling ~$150 for 3.5 months i own n900. Sounds no good? No one will compensate me that.

As i use network features much, i did not realize something is wrong until recent. I was thinking i downloaded something big (e.g. maps update) by accident and it is my own fault. And tracking it down with tcpdump or wireshark until nethogs was out is difficult -- now i could prove my suspictions quite easy.

App manager does not consume much traffic until you actually install updates.
RSS reader DOES NOT honor "update via WiFi" choice in the settings
