You might want to take this with a grain of salt, but the Google Nexus One sales site reportedly showed the Nexus One on Verizon’s network very briefly this weekend, per Android Central<\/a>. A forum\u00a0enthusiast\u00a0member grabbed a screen cap<\/a>, which of course is under scrutiny since Google’s online store<\/a> isn’t showing availability of the phone for Verizon. But this wouldn’t be the first time that Google let an almost live link slip out when it comes to the Nexus One. The original support links made a brief appearance prior to any announcement, disappeared and then reappeared. That doesn’t set a precedent though, so we’ll have to see if any official news comes down the pike.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting in the screen shot is the alleged pricing — $199 \u00a0for the phone and a new 2-year plan. That would be $20 more than the subsidized T-Mobile version, indicating that Google brokered a different subsidy agreement with Verizon. I suppose that’s possible, but regardless, I wouldn’t expect to see the no-contract price be any different from the $529 Google charges for the GSM models. And that’s actually something I hadn’t thought about — how does that compare to other Verizon handsets available at full price for month-to-month use. Not bad it turns out — here are current prices for unsubsidized phones, direct from Verizon:<\/p>\n
