The Nexus One “has just had its price slashed,” Bunker reports.
“Up until today, anyone in the US who’d wanted to upgrade to the Nexus One on T-Mobile had to pay out $379,” Bunker reports. “With the price cut in effect, this figure stands at $279… Not only that, but anyone who’s already upgraded receive a $100 refund.”

Another move stolen from Apple’s playbook.
Damn Jerry.
You beat me to the very words!

Please.
And when New York state is hit by an earthquake again, I wonder who will respond.
Nexus schmexus… really expected more from Google, more than this scam Super Google phone crap.
They took a page from the M$ marketing book.
Make a lot of wind, then produce some crappy Apple imitation. And count on the fact that millions of suckers will fall for the scam.
Apple’s iPhone has such a reputation that buying another one, as the Nexus One, will often be the result of an anti-Apple mood.
Google made a Zune…
For those who have already bought a Nexus return before the 14 day deadline or pay the piper.
For those thinking about buying a Nexus – wait another month for
the next $100 drop.
Define upgrade.

You mean like the millions in dollars and services donated by Canada to the USA for Hurricane Katrina relief , or the millions in dollars and services sent by Canada to assist with the New York 9/11 disaster?
Wonder no more.
Googles’ Nexus One is a dead man walking!
I’m getting one. I need it to go with my Zune so I can use them as bookends.
And it kept Apple’s name firmly in the news almost daily for a week. Anyone purchasing Christmas gifts knew about the iPhone’s story… it’s selling a million, the price drop, the rebate… People who I didn’t think followed technical news were asking me about the price drop… because they had all heard/read it on non-technical sites!
Knowing how things are ran at Apple, I wouldn’t doubt that it was planned to happen EXACTLY that way.
I’m waiting for the BOGO offer.

Any similarity beetween the Google phone and Apple’s iPhone is purely a figment of the writer’s imagination. The iPhone was a sensational hit from Day One, with or without a price cut. Three years later, the iPhone is still light years ahead of the so-called competition. How many iPhone wannabe’s have come and gone in that time period, never to be seen again?
The iPhone had a big up front price cut. Apple still got the same money per iPhone sale. It just came from the cell carrier and not the cell phone buyer.
This is different. Google is selling at break even just to dump a poor iPhone imitation before the public catch on.
I moved to sprint. Only because of price. I got an HTC Hero which is basically the Nexus 1. It is capable many things, but I would MUCH prefer my iPhone and still use it more at home thane I use HTC. iPhone is so much better than next closest thing.
“$100 off the price of the handset for certain existing customers”..
that is not a price cut… that’s a provider discount!
Google is still selling the Nexus at $530 unlocked.
Keep spreading the FUD.
There was a Mr. Nexus on the old Invaders TV show. Yes, he was one of the bad guys.
