There are rumors running around that Google will sell Nexus One unlocked and subsidized for $530, and that Google will sell it by themselves. Now that’s interesting!
Yeah, you heard it right! It is $530 unsubsidized. You can also get it at $180, subsidized, when you sign up for a 2 year mandatory contract with T-Mobile with only one rate plan available – $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total. That’s bad news for those who do not want to switch subscribers. Plus, if you cancel your plan before 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference between what you paid and the unsubsidized price, so $350 in this case. Or you can return the phone to Google. You also authorize them to charge this directly to your credit card.
In this case, you might just gonna have to purchase it unlocked and unsubsidized for $530, which, actually might save you money over two years if you already have a cheap plan.
And since Google will only sell it through google.com/phone, you will have to buy using your Google account and you can only buy five Nexus One phones per Google account.
One weirdness in the Terms of Sale that we quickly glanced through was that Google made sure you acknowledged that the manufacturer is HTC, and not Google.
