This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The guys over at Gizmodo have got their paws on what seems to be an internal Google document revealing pricing for the HTC Nexus One, both subsidized and unsubsidized. Getting right to the point, the Nexus One will be $530 unsubsidized and $180 subsidized with a new 2-year contract with T-Mobile. Here are some details to take note of:

-$530 Unsubsidized price tag

-$180 Subsidized (new 2-year contract)

If you want the phone at the $180 subsidized price there is a catch. There’s only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 (umm…What if I want unlimited minutes?). According to Gizmodo’s Tipster, 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. Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect subscribers must buy the phone unlocked and unsubsidized for $530. Also you can only buy five Nexus One phones per Google account. Google will sell the handset at www.google.com/phone.

And 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.

Google’s set up some pretty tight requirements. Seriously though, what is up with only being able to get the Nexus One subsidized at that one price plan? 500 mins, I go through that in less than 2 weeks. I really hope Google makes some last minute changes to their requirements.

Possible release date Jan 5th, 2010

I was really hoping this would come to verizon...know when that's coming out?

Yeah, I don't think I would switch to T-moble. So far I've read that verizon will get the HTC Bravo/Passion/Incredible/Dragon which is supposed to be the similar, if not the same as the Nexus One. At this point I don't know what to believe. At least a similar phone with verizon would hopefully be subsidized around $180 also.

I'm renewing/switching this month. 500 daytime works for me if it includes unlmtd night/wkend. I want to see a full review of this thing prior to purchasing it though...

I thought Google was going to sell an unlocked phone not associated with any carrier

Techincally, they are. Sounds like there's something about Verizon customers not being able to use it though....

T-Mobile is just subsidizing the phone on the backend if you decide to use the Nexus One with them. I believe they currently do that with all unlocked phones.

+1

thats what i thought as well

They cant really "not associate" themselves with a carrier because each carrier use a different frequency. ATT and TMobile are use the same GSM network, but Verizon uses CDMA. All three use different frequencies for the internet 3G services...So unless they decide to cover all 3 carrier frequencies, there's no way to make this phone unlocked and not associated with a carrier.
