When Google introduced a new channel for buying the Nexus One, I was excited at the thought of grabbing a phone without being hassled by a retail sales rep. The only downside was that if I bought it at the subsidized price and wanted to cancel within 120 days, Google would charge a $350 device recovery fee&#8230; on top of the carrier&#8217;s cancelation fees!<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Google has decided to drop that price down to $150. Not bad, but it&#8217;s still not appealing when added to T-Mobile&#8217;s $200 early termination fee. Owning a Nexus One could get expensive if you decide to cancel your contract! At the very least, if you cancel and it&#8217;s all said and done, you&#8217;ll end up paying exactly what you would have if you purchased the device unlocked and contract free.<\/p>\n<p>[via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/phone\/static\/en_US-terms_of_sale.html\">Nexus One Terms of Sale<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/QZF_WcW_2Vd0A8qgHHX4nUqPbRQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/QZF_WcW_2Vd0A8qgHHX4nUqPbRQ\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/QZF_WcW_2Vd0A8qgHHX4nUqPbRQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/QZF_WcW_2Vd0A8qgHHX4nUqPbRQ\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=sk_TcAqRXSc:UlCCmHbV4ps:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=sk_TcAqRXSc:UlCCmHbV4ps:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=sk_TcAqRXSc:UlCCmHbV4ps:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=sk_TcAqRXSc:UlCCmHbV4ps:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=sk_TcAqRXSc:UlCCmHbV4ps:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one likes early termination fees, but for one reason or another they can sometimes become a necessary evil.
