Canceling a Nexus One Contract Costs More Than a Nexus One [Nexus One]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...nereview_6.jpgIf you buy a subsidized Nexus One with T-Mobile and you cancel your contract after the 14-day trial, it'll cost you between $50 and $200. Sounds pretty standard, but Google will charge you an additional "equipment recovery fee."
Google has the right to charge you up to $350 if you cancel before the 4 month mark, which is essentially their way of thwarting any plans you may have to sell a former contract phone for profit. But here's the catch: Google's fees plus T-Mobiles fees can add up to $550—which is $20 more than the Nexus One costs in the first place.
Though to be fair, you did score at least 15 days of service for that $20. [CNET via phoneArena]
