So apparently the cats over at Gizmodo have gotten their hands on leaked pics of the Nexus One (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NexusOne/)'s landing and purchase page. First, the meat. According to the pages, the phone will be available in two ways: as a $529.99 unsubsidized and unlocked device, and as a $179.99 T-Mobile device locked to a two year contract. Sound familiar? It should, because it's exactly the same story as every other phone available on the market right now. Additionally, the pics seem to suggest that there will only be one plan available should you get the device on contract -- 500 minutes of talk time, unlimited text, data, and mobile to mobile for $79.99. Furthermore, Giz claims that if you cancel your contract within 120 days you have to pay a $350 fee (a la Verizon (http://www.engadget.com/tag/verizon%2Cetf)) or return the phone to Google, and any existing customer that wishes to buy the phone has to switch to the Nexus One plan. To be perfectly honest, it's hard to say if this is the real deal or not. We don't get why Google would want to lock you into a single plan, nor do we fully understand why you would need to activate your phone via the website (as shown in the grab). Of course, the big G sometimes works in mysterious ways -- perhaps they're going for a little Apple magic here with restrictive plans and draconian ideas about how you can use the phone. It wouldn't be surprising given the timing of the company's little event (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/29/google-announces-android-press-conference-for-january-5th/) next week. Don't worry, all will be revealed soon enough.Allegedly leaked Nexus One purchase page answers, raises questions (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/29/allegedly-leaked-nexus-one-purchase-page-answers-raises-questio/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:02:00 EST.
