How does it feel when something concealed finally comes to surface? Something similar has happened in the terrain of mobile phones as well. According to Gizmodo, Google has recently decided to merchandize the much-hyped Nexus One unlocked and unsubsidized for $530 (approx Rs. 24,761), and will sell it by itself.
Reportedly, for subsidized one, users will have to sign up for a two-year mandatory contract and fork out $180 (approx Rs. 8,410) for the phone. Maybe, the device will be subsidized on a single rate plan from T-Mobile: the Even More 1000 plan bundled with unlimited text messages and web (data) for $79.99 per month.
Seemingly, existent users won’t be able to keep their plan if deem of swapping to a subsidized phone. In order to activate this plan, users are needed to change their plan to the one plan. Apparently, Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect subscribers must purchase the handset unlocked and unsubsidized for $530.
Moreover, users can snap up five Nexus One phones per Google account which will be sold through the google.com/phone website, reveals Gizmodo. Reportedly, users will also have to pay the subsidy difference between what they paid and the unsubsidized price if they opt to cancel their plan before 120 days, which amounts to $350 (approx Rs. 16,353).
