Great blog, thanks. I’ve been trying to lose weight with the Cambridge diet these past couple of months and it’s going well. Will try and update to let you guys know how it’s going, so far I’ve lost 25 pounds in 4 months!

that’s the price for t-mo customers to upgrade, and it was discounted from the previous price of $379.

I’m pretty unhappy. I clicked through from the Google Nexus site to TMobile this afternoon to seal the deal on a Nexus One for $179 with a 2-year contract., as per the Google site. Lo and behold, the manifest said $279.

I called Google and got “Well, someone hasn’t gotten around to changing the price on the site yet. It’s $279. Neener neener neener!”

Is Google raising the retail price daily until they find the price point that people WON’T pay, and then they’ll step it back down from there? I won’t play that. I’ve reached that price point. I was excited to order this thing but now I am fresh otu of gruntle. I’m going back to look at the other Androids.

Hey, Google! Don’t be evil!

Question: Can one by nexus unlocked and sign up for T-mobil individual plan 500 Whenever minutes + talk + text + web for $59.99

The right calculation is

subsidized phone with that plan
180+(24)(80)= $2100

Whereas you could go with the Even More Plus on Flexpay with an identical plan (59.99$/mo):
530+(24)(60)= $1970

wow calm down iphone fan do u know that the iphone is 2009 worst phone of the year and android continuosly goes up the iphone was good until the android came out because the apps on the iphone is more strictly regulated the andriod which auotmactically makes it better not to mention the android has more aoos

Here in Canada *all* carriers use AT&T 3G bands – I found that out the hard way when my ADP1 would only get EDGE. Will there be a version for me to use here in Canada?

What kind of nuts are you ? Hardware is expensive ? I could’ve believed that back in the day when we had to physically format hard drives before you could even install software on them, but not today. Please, the actual production cost of that level of hardware is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $100-125…MAX. Wait until someone takes it apart and does one of those costing reviews. If you can build an XBOX 360 ( which has considerably more complicated, and physcially MORE hardware, for enough to be able to sell it for $299 retail and still make a margin of profit ( which M$ does, it may not be much, but remember this isn’t an exercise for Google to make money off of, in the end ), then there’s no reason why this phone couldn’t have been brought in for a retail unlock cost point of say, $350 or so. This would be a game changer. This would be something people would actually stop and reconsider that iPhone over. This would say, I hear your people. Coming from Tmo, where the hardware is truly always a generation behind what’s out there. The G1 being the exception, but that was beta hardware so let’s not quibble.

I understand Google can’t poo-poo on it’s current golden child ( Droid ), or the dumbed down sibling ( Cliq ), but if Google TRULY wanted to change the logistics of the game, this pricing/service plan are absolutely the WRONG way to go.
And in the words of a recent WIN of a commercial ( even if it’s for a product I’d never buy for myself ), “The man said, Ta-da!”.

So what you’re saying is our MT3G is 19% overpriced ? Yeah, that sounds like a bargain alright.

Get real people. The real retail costs is nowhere NEAR what they’re asking for. And frankly, if this is how Google is going to play it, I just as well might wait it out until Apple or M$ next move.
$530 is too rich for my blood, and the meesly monthly plan they’re offering is RIDICULOUS ( especially to someone who’s been with TMo for almost 11 years straight, and been on an unlimited plan+data for $70/mo for the last year and something ). I can’t see giving that up just for the sake of saying I have this phone. Sorry….move along folks, nothing to see here….the demographic for this phone is soooo small by comparison to all of TMo’s present market, that it’s nonsensical. I can just see whomever’s doing market analysis on this having to swallow their tongue because of how inane this plan is going to play out for them.

Good luck with this implode of a launch.

@Aiman

What kind of crazy calculator are you using?
(24)(80) = 1920
180+(24)(80) = 2100
530+(60)(80) = 5330
