The final piece of the Nexus One puzzle (supposedly) fell into place when Gizmodo and Engadget posted leaked documents purporting to show the Nexus One's price: $529.99 "unlocked" or $179.99 with a two-year T-Mobile contract and a very specific, limited service plan.
I put "unlocked" in quotes because according to everything we've seen so far, the Nexus One only works properly on T-Mobile's network here in the U.S. Even though you can use it on AT&T's system, it will be restricted to 2G, which with a powerful smartphone like the Nexus One would be a little like watching famed runner Oscar Pistorius without his carbon-fiber legs.
If that is indeed the pricing, the Google narrative changes here from "are they going to disrupt the wireless industry?" to "do they want to sell any of these at all?" For an unlocked, high-end smartphone, $529.99 is pretty standard. Without a contract, the Nokia E72 is around $400, the Motorola Droid is $559.99, and the iPhone 3GS is $599.99. None of them are big sellers at those prices.

Quite interesting, well I just wanted some songs and got your blog. Thanks for this one mate I just loved it. An additional comment or feedback which I would like to give is that this theme is quite boring and you need to work on it but everything else I fine.
