Engadget's letter seems to have the Nexus One boot animation art on it. |

I hope they will expand support for paid apps in Android Market to more countries. |

According to the pages, the phone will be available in two ways: as a $529.99 unsubsidized and unlocked device, and as a $179.99 T-Mobile device locked to a two year contract.

few rumor about T & C
• 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
And here is a big one: • If you cancel your plan before 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference between what you paid and the unsubsidized price, so $350 in this case. Or you can return the phone to Google. You also authorize them to charge this directly to your credit card.
One weirdness in the Terms of Sale that we quickly glanced through was that Google made sure you acknowledged that the manufacturer is HTC, and not Google.

Still no iphone killer, but who gives a fuck |

The Android interface is still less intuitive, less usable and uglier than the iPhone interface. |

Looks cool, but nothing very new there. I wouldn't buy a Nexus One. |
DPic | 14 years ago # |
I wouldn't return a droid for it, but i'm damn excited to ditch my G1 |

It looks good but still the touch screen looks a bit unresponsive..nothing can beat the iPhone.

So, what is so special about this handset that Google should sell it by itself? Nothing on Engadget showed anything spectacularly special. Assuming that Google is doing this as a first step to break the tight bond in the US between handset manufacturers and carriers, it still doesn't qualify for a big press conference on Tuesday. Especially when the leaked information so far seems to cover all the highlights of the phone and has stolen the thunder out of the press conference... Unless there's something hidden that we have not heard about yet... |

I see more and more press reviews about Nexus One because they have already their own. Damn, I should be an official journalist :-| |

"Wondering how to activate your shiny new Nexus One? Curious how to get started with the thing, or how to use the 3D gallery? Oh, wait, you don't have yours yet? Oops. Google seems to have posted its support page for the phone a little early, a little site that went live for just a few minutes – just long enough for us to click through a little, read that Terms of Service that was leaked to us last week, and watch a few videos" |
