RIP: Google Kills the Nexus One

Looks like the Nexus One is on its way out.
by

Looks like the Nexus One is on its way out. Google has announced that its latest shipment of the smartphones will be its last. Previously, Google said it would be closing the Nexus One online store, but now the device will no longer be manufactured. The Nexus One, which just received the latest Android update, was sold through a contract with T-Mobile and unattached to a contract directly from Google. Purchasing a contract-free phone, though, would set users back $529. Purchasing the device through T-Mobile cost just $179.

Find out more about the decision, how many units were actually sold, and whether or not current Nexus One users will continue to receive support after the break.

Earlier this year, Google announced the Nexus One, a phone that set out to change the way Americans purchased their mobile devices — unlocked. While the phone was available for purchase with a contract through T-Mobile, and Verizon was supposed to get on board with the device later this year, Google's main push was to sell the device through its own site.

Now, turns out that the Nexus One model wasn't as successful as Google hoped. It just announced changes in the availability of the phone, effective immediately. Find out what that means for you after the break.

I'm still laughing over this news — Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak snatched up a Nexus One to add to his collection of phones. At first, I thought this meant he was giving up his iPhone (maybe he's having AT&T troubles like the rest of us), but it turns out he's just addicted to new gadgets and admits to having over 100 phones in his lifetime! I'm not surprised he's into the latest and greatest tech, but I am surprised he admitted it so freely.

Would You Buy an Unlocked Phone?

There's been a lot of hype surrounding yesterday's announcement of the HTC Nexus One, aka the Google phone, especially because Google plans to sell the phone unlocked — that is, not tied to one wireless carrier or contract plan. Presumably this will keep a lot of customers happy if the AT&T backlash from iPhone users is any indication. But the problem with selling a carrier- and contract-free phone is that it's much more expensive. If you purchase the Nexus One with T-Mobile (the only carrier currently offering a special pricing option), it'll cost you $179 with a two-year contract. Verizon will throw down its pricing options in the Spring, but, if you choose to forgo the wait and purchase the unlocked version of the phone, it'll cost $529, since there's no carrier to subsidize the phone cost.

I understand why the pricing works this way, but it is a hefty sum of money. In theory, the idea of an unlocked phone and the freedom that comes with it is great, but in practice, I don't know that I'd shell out that much cash for the privilege. Would you?
