Tmo revamps Nexus One pricing again

obviously again you ingore things and dont do your research...you havent figured out yet that i already own one. again...geez!



if this and if that. first off anyone who buys the phone and engraves it knows they can not return it.

anyone who signs up for tmobile and cancels after 14 days knows that they are going to get charged.

no "unaware customers" here. it is all spelled out in black and white. same as with every other cell company in the country. (i cant speak for other contries). you have put together a scenario that would possible fit your math, but in all likely hood will not happen.

if you did this to att, verizon, sprint, and many other companies dont you think the same thing would happen? (the answer is yes)

with every company who subsidizes phones penaltys are accesed for cancelling service after a specified time period. tell me someone who is not aware of this.

Oh that’s right, with all the business savvy you possess, you really have no clue as to what you or anybody else is talking about. Apparently from all your other posts, your just another fanboy. Pull that head out of your ass and look around and watch you don't step in your own bullshit along the way. Go away and enjoy that new phone.

Now they need to come off that $529 sticker otherwise there going to sit. Lets see an OS upgrade for the My Touch instead of trying to hold the consumer hostage with game playing and pricing tactics.

These options work best for me.

This is how to do it. Call an HTC rep.888 216 4736

HTC rep has no real T-Mobile of Google agenda. Me: G1 owner, 5 months left on contract.

If I want to buy the Nexus now:

#1 Option: buy Nexus at $279, change to the only Nexus One plan at $79,(My G1 plan is also $79 but it's "all you can eat". Enter new 2 year contract @$79 (again lower minutes than G1 Plan.

#2 Option: Buy Nexus One unlocked at full price. Use month to month plan. Drop T-Mobile or Nexus when you want. Re-sell unlocked Nexus One on ebay to recoup some cost. (This is the route the HTC Rep, a G1 owner is personally doing herself).

#3 Option: The best plan is probably to stick with my G1 for the 4 months left on contract. Then dump T-mobile and buy Nexus One in the Spring with Verizon and superior coverage.
 
I'm currently with T-Mobile and my contract would expire on April, I actually was qualified to get the Nexus one with a new 2 year agreement. When I looked at the plan, I said to myself that I need to change carriers. N1 is not worth shelling out that dough on a monthly payment that doesn't even compare to what you get to T-Mobile's competitor. If there's no new phone that would come out on this other carrier, I'm getting the Samsung Moment.
 
Hey all,
Even with the problems of pricing let us not forget that only warranty on the phone is the 12 month mfg warranty. Let's say you are out and about, the phone slips off the clip and lands in a puddle of water.......BOOM you are out of a great phone and no place to turn. Until Google stops being greedy and allows Tmo to carry in the phone and offer a EIP (equipment insurance policy) we will just have to wait for the next android phone. As for the Bravo/Passion the fliers talk about Tmo UK but the GSM they mention are US frequency. Perhaps we will see them soon.......till then I am truely looking at possibly buying the HD2...and hope someone can figure out how to install android on it.
 
T-Mobile (USA) offers a $4.79/month lost/stolen/damaged plan for the Nexus.
 
These are ALL good points but for me, equally important is the fact the Google supports this phone, which is to say no one does. I'm sorry but if I'm going to buy a phone site unseen, I better at least have the ability to go and talk to someone in the flesh about it or get them on the phone and feel totally confident that my issues will be resolved. I do NOT get that feeling right now. At any rate, I am NOT in the habit of handing out this kind of money for a technology device I haven't put my hands on unless it's something with a proven reputation in customer service and support and product reliability (not the case here)
