by MAC Article posted in Cellphones, Google

Nexus One is now open for the market. Google announced that unsubscribed Nexus One will be sold for $530 and for subscription, user has to pay $180 extra. Detail about Nexus One is unleashed already in recent past with features of Nexus One and hardware detail of Nexus One. And if un happy with the phone, user can get some amount back if the Nexus One given back to Google.

For users, Nexus One can be on expensive side, as Google itself announced that Google phone Nexus One will not be sold on lower price. So far it has been observed that Nexus One will be offered to the general public in two basic packages. One unsubscribed and other subscribed Nexus One. Both of them, are available in slightly different prices.

Official words by the Google are as follows:

Yeah, it’s $530 unsubsidized. Google’s not going to be selling the phone at cost, like so many people considered. They’re not going to save us from the “making money off of hardware” culture we’ve got right now, so this is basically just another Android handset, albeit a really good one.
If you want it subsidized, you’ll have to sign up for a 2 year mandatory contract.
There’s only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total.
Existing customers cannot keep their plan if they want a subsidized phone; they have to change to the one plan, and this only applies to accounts with one single line.
If that doesn’t fly with you, you have to buy the $530 unlocked version—this actually might save you money over two years if you already have a cheap plan.
Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect subscribers must buy the phone unlocked and unsubsidized for $530.
You can only buy five Nexus One phones per Google account.
There is language in the agreement of shipping outside the US.
Google will sell it at google.com/phone, which explains what they were doing with that page a few weeks ago.
Google will still call it the Nexus One apparently, and not the Google Phone.
