Stop da dam complaining. When the Iphone was introduced, no one complained about the price. So what if da Nexus1 cost $530 unlocked, that’s the price you have to pay if you do not have a plan with either Tmobile or AT&T. You either pay da price or change your cell carrier. Surely you have to know, this is Google’s 1st smartphone and there will be other versions coming out later on. Wait and see…………….

If the Nexus One works with Tmobiles “Total Internet” data only plan for $40/mo, then it’s a game changer. Because then people can just get the data plan and through google voice and VoIP apps, do everything through data services.

“. Maybe they’re leaving that “Google Phone” door open since this will be called the Nexus One on launch.”

Maybe when it gives you brain cancer they don’t want you coming to them with your hand out. Seriously, sounds more like lawyer speak to me.

$530 is normal for a smartphone. And as usual the street price will probably be lower. Also prices will go down a few weeks after the lunch.

@ Usman,

I realize what Tmo is doing with their plans, but I just wanted to clarify that the $20 diff in price has nothing to do with unlocked phones. It is simply the diff between on contract and off contract. An unlocked phone is not part of the EMP plan and a customer who wants unlocked will have to do get that done separately. Now I do not know the whole story with the N1. Perhaps this is the first phone that is offered unlocked. If so, this still has nothing to do with Tmo’s new plans…

@Lowendall1880 T-mobile’s Even More Plus plan is geared more for off contract phones… That is, for people that want to buy their own GSM phone (locked to T-mobile’s network or unlocked) at an unsubsidized price, and get T-mobile service. Typically these plans run $20 less per month as compared to on contract plans with the same minutes and features. That’s what Jo was getting at.

@ jo

Unlocked and Off Contract are not the same thing… You mean to say that Tmo’s plans are cheaper for Off Contract phones as opposed to On Contract.

@alex kleven
i agree..most smart phones unlocked go for $600 + (the milestone, touch hd2 etc)…and does anybody think that the nexus 1 looks like the Sprint Hero and Verizon Eris had a tall slimmer child and adopted the Hero’s skin color and the Eris’ button layout?
To me it doesnt matter because im on a cdma network but if it has the Snapdragon Processor then its definatly worth the price

Just got off the phone with Tmobile. My God, their plans must have a million and one variations.. it’s so confusing. A little less here and a little more there.. you’re essentially paying the same amount in the end.

One thing I realized is that their plans are cheaper for unlocked phones than those under contract.

I think the 530 price for the unlocked phone will make it so no one does what they do with iPhones and sell them for $800+. Because everyone will be able to go online and order the phone for a max price of $530. No more ebaying for double the price of the phone lol
