This was one of the downsides of an otherwise great deal for the first 1GHZ Android. A lot of people was in an uproar when they found out that Google would.

No handset has generated so much buzz since Apple launched its first iPhone two and a half years ago, but is the Nexus One really the “superphone” Google claims it is?

The phone, manufactured by Taiwan’s HTC, is currently available in the US only, or on Google’s website for $530 (€380, £328) without the subsidy from T-Mobile USA. It has received mixed reviews since it was launched this month. Most of the complaints have been about the network and Google’s support, rather than the device itself. -

Google Nexus One is now available for current T-Mobile customers with an existing data plan as a handset upgrade of $279 instead of $379. Luckily the $100 will show up in the form of a credit via Google Checkout for those that paid the $379.
Complete eligibility rules were made available in the Google support forums and unfortunately does not include FlexPay, SmartAccess, FamilyTime, business or government account holders. You should still contact T-Mobile directly for plan & eligibility details. My T-Mobile account still doesn’t know what the Nexus One is, as seen below, leaving most details in the hands of T-Mo to figure out.
Google’s intentions were unclear regarding the price drop being related to a few customer complaints or if this is expected to create positive buzz for the device and it’s soft sales figures. This is reminiscent of Apple’s ‘do-over’ when the new iPhone was released asking current iPhone customers as much as $699 for upgrading.

Ever since the Nexus One was announced by Google, many have marveled at the “revolution” in handset sales — no more carriers! However, it sparked a lot of confusion with contract-free pricing, commitment pricing, termination fees and other details. Google is finally setting the record straight. For unlocked devices, the price stays at $529, and for new T-Mobile customers it still goes for $179. However, the pricing for customers who were eligible for upgrade with data plans was set at a high $379. Quickly coming to its senses, Google slashed $100 off the price and it is now $279; the customers who paid the higher price will be given $100 back from Google.

It seems Google wants to address some complaints after the initial launch of its Nexus One smartphone. One of the most vocal complaints was from current T-Mobile customers who had to pay $379 to upgrade to the Nexus One compared to a new T-Mobile customer price of $179. A related area of concern was frustration over which current T-Mobile customers qualified for the upgrade pricing.
In response to the complaints, the Android and Me website is reporting that the new upgrade pricing for the Nexus One will be $279. Those customers who already paid the $379 will receive a $100 refund from Google. TmoNews says customers will be notified and will receive the refund within 14 business days. To attract more Nexus One owners, Google is working to help expand the group of T-Mobile subscribers which quality for the $279 upgrade price.

At CES this past week, Google executive Andy Rubin said that the next version of the Nexus One phone will be for the enterprise. It could have a physical keyboard.
Our bet is that Google Apps will be tightly integrated into the Nexus One enterprise phone. Google syncs every Android phone to a Google account. The next step seems logical. Sync Google Apps with the Android.
With Google Apps integrated, a customer could assign employees a Nexus One smartphone that is tied centrally to the account. As described on Ars Technica, each device could have its own Google Voice number. The smartphones could be then distributed to employees. Billing would be centralized and the employees would have a managed suite of applications for email, messaging, calendering, contacts and more.

There’s been more than a bit of consternation among current T-Mobile customers when it comes to buying a subsidized Nexus One . At first everybody though they were out of luck, or that they were eligible for the full discount. …

The Google Nexus One is due to land in the next few weeks in Europe. Vodafone will be the first to get the N1 on their network. A photo of four phones was leaked with one of them being listed as the Google Nexus One. The phone is priced at €149.90 (see bottom right of the image above or see larger image below), which we assume is on a two year contract. Prices are for Vodafone in Germany.

Remember how up in arms users were when Verizon raised its early termination fee to $350, in order match the subsidizing fees of its new batch of smartphones such as the Motorola Droid? Well, that bar has just been raised by The Nexus One.
Those who terminate their contracts for the T-Mobile Google phone will be charged a whopping $550. That’s more than the price of an unlocked version of the phone–a cost which, theoretically, is supposed to be impetus for such fees. The $550 fee breaks down to $200 for T-Mobile termination and $350 for “equipment recovery” on Google’s part. Ouch.

The Nexus One is a pretty darn attractive purchase for non-TMO customers who are ready to give their John Hancock on a 2-Year agreement but you’re much less.

Andy Rubin, the head of Android is quoted in Ken Auletta’s Googled as saying a smartphone “shouldn’t cost four hundred dollars. That’s absurd. If you add up all the components, somebody is making a lot of money.”
According to iSuppli, he’s right! It did a teardown analysis of the Nexus One and found it has component costs of $174.15.
Of course, this doesn’t take into account manufacturing the phone, packaging it, shipping it, marketing it, or any other costs that make the phone retail for $530. We also don’t know what cut Google takes on the phone and what cut HTC takes.

BillShrink got to work on the price calculations right after the Google Nexus One went official, and a few hours later, they came up with the results. Apparently, the Nexus One Android handset undercuts the other great Android phone; the DROID by Motorola as well as the iPhone 3GS, but not the Palm Pre.
With a price of $529 SIM-free and unlocked, and at $179 subsidized via T-Mobile USA, the Nexus One total cost of ownership compared with the iPhone vs. Droid vs. Palm Pre, is cheaper than the first 2 handsets, and only the Sprint Palm Pre comes cheaper. Ownership is based on a two year contract plan; the 16GB iPhone 3GS totals $3,799 on AT&T with an unlimited plan and $2,839 for an “average plan”.

As you’ve probably heard by now, this morning Google finally officially announced the first Google Phone: The Nexus One. Plenty of reviewers and geeks are fawning over the new device, but some are proposing that it won’t even make a blip on the radar for your average consumer. In fact, earlier this evening the Wall Street Journal quoted one analyst as saying, “Unless [Google] gives it a big push with marketing dollars, which they are not, consumers aren’t going to know the phone exists.”

Maybe you, like us, are a little disappointed at how the Nexus One fared in our review. It may not be the ground-breaker we’d all hoped for, but it’s still a mighty important handset, and while we’re expecting to know the full details for its American release later today it seems someone may have tipped their hat on European availability details a little early.
