Mobile News Now

Thanks to Gizmodo and their tipsters have seemed to found some leaked documents regarding the Nexus One’s pricing. According to the site the Nexus One is going to be sold unsubsidized and Google won’t be selling the phone at a cost to them. To get the phone unsubsidized it will cost you $530 dollars. If you want to get the handset subsidized it will require a 2-year contract and will cost you $180 dollars for the handset. The cell service contract will be though T-Mobile USA and the Nexus One will only use the $39.99 a month Even More plan for text & web it would be $79.99 a month total. For current T-Mobile customers unfortunately won’t be able to keep their current plan if they want a subsidized phone. They will be force to change to the one plan that is offered with the Nexus One. But if you don’t like the plan that is offered with the subsidized phone you can buy the $530 unlocked and according to the article you might save money. Also Family plan, Flex pay, Smart Access and Kid Connect subscribers are going to have to buy the phone unsubsidized. Also you will only be able to buy five phones for each Google account you have.  Google will be selling the handset through Google’s own website Google.com/phone. And another thing if you get the phone subsidized and then cancel your plan before 120 days you will have to pay the unsubsidized price of $350. But you also have the option of returning the phone to Google, which according to the article authorizes them to charge the $350 directly to your credit/debit card. Also in the Terms of Sale you have to acknowledge that the manufacture of the phone is HTC and not Google.

 Well, theirs the pricing and the information on how it supposed to work. I personally would not spend $530 dollars on a phone but I don’t know if your able to buy the phone unsubsidized and then get one of the Even More Plus plans. If you were able to use the Even More Plus plans you would save more money in the long run. Mainly because you pay less each month for the plans but you have to pay for the full price of the phone or over a monthly payment plan.  Although I think it’s odd that you have to acknowledge when you purchase the phone that the manufacture is HTC and not Google. I guess that is to keep Google from undermining the other manufactures that have made Android based handsets. As always I appreciate the feedback and tell me what you think on the pricing of the Nexus One.

Thanks to some leaked internal documents from T-Mobile USA via Tmonews.com, the cell service company will be providing support for the Nexus One/Google Phone. T-Mobile will be only doing support for billing, coverage, features & rate plans. Also the rumors of the phone being released in January are becoming more likely fact since this states early January. Also it seems that the handset is gong to be sold online only by Google and not though a cell carrier.  Click on the image for a full size picture.

Well for more information on the Nexus One/Google Phone go to our previous post:

Nexus One.

After posting the tech specs I found another video of the handset it show's off the user interface and thats about it. But enjoy the video anyway and tell me what you think of the handset?

Well, I know I have fallen behind on the blog and I do apologize to the readers & subscribers. I am still unemployed and trying to find a job but no luck yet. But it seems like Engadget has gotten their hands on the tech specifications of the Nexus One/ Google phone. Also the phone will be available though invite from Google at first most likely to developers. And the Nexus One will support T-Mobile 3G network and only AT&T’s edge network.  But the handset will have a 5.0-mega pixel camera with flash and auto-focus, will have 512MB RAM & 512 ROM, will have 4GB microSD included expandable to 32 GB’s, a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, a 1GHZ Qualcomm processor. That’s just a little bit of the tech specifications the pic’s below have the full tech specifications. I for one can’t wait till this comes out this would be a prefect replacement for a T-Mobile G1 or Mytouch 3G.  Am surprised that cell phone technology has come so far that it has a 1ghz processor in it. I remember when  computers had a 1ghz processor in them and how big of a deal that was. As always tell me what you think of the specs for the Nexus One/Google Phone?



Well, thanks to the people over at thenexusoneforums.net one of the only few places to find any information on Google's own phone. And as odd as it sounds apparently their having a giveaway. Which I am not sure how factual the giveaway is since the handset hasn't even been released to the public yet. I was able to get some of the hardware specs comes with a 4GB microSD card & has a 3.7 inch OLED screen and that's really about it. Also below are some more pictures of the handset and a short video all the other YouTube videos have been take down. Well for more information on the Nexus One go to pervious post on the site. And to join in the giveaway go to this site Nexus One Blog.
