Despite being a T-Mobile customer that qualifies for the full $180 contract price (http://gizmodo.com/5440639/the-google-phone-is-here-180-on-contract-530-unlocked), her phone rang up at $379. HTC seems to think this is a-ok.
I just tried to order a nexus one (http://gizmodo.com/tag/nexusone/) from google as an existing T-Mobile customer and found that I was only seeing a $150 subsidy discount. I called T-Mobile and they indicated that I should see the full discount. They patched me through to HTC who then said I will only see the $150 as existing T-Mobile customer and that is the agreement. Looks like some lines are crossed or Google/HTC are holding existing customers hostage. Needless to say, I'll wait around and see if this changes.
Is this an isolated incident, or did you experience a similar problem as an existing T-Mobile customer? What about those of you that switched to T-Mobile for the Nexus One? [Thanks Quinn!]
