How to get Nexus One for $380?

[NetCom]

Being still upset over the pricing that is everything but not attractive whatsoever, there is a simple way of getting Nexus One for $380...
There is some flexibility needed...

You order phone for $180.00 and Tmobile plan of price tag 79.99 for first 4 months... 121st day you simply cancel the contract and pay additional $200.00 early termination fee and voila your phone will be $380.00 ...

Downside of this is: you have to get 79.99 service for 4 months which comes out to be $319.96 + tax. Adding the price of the phone you paid in the amount of $180.00 everything comes out to cost you $499.96 plus tax. Well - still better deal as you are getting 4 months of service along with this bad boy ...

Having in mind you would rather be non-flexible person and get the phone for $530.00 - than unlocked may be good deal for you instead of going through hoops for this deal...

Still kind of expensive for me at this moment...

I think I have not practiced Math lately... it seems unlocked deal is better as $180 price + $320 for service over 4 months + $200 early termination fee adds up to $700 for period over 4 months... Sorry if I caused any disruption in discussions...

Yeah, and also...buying the phone directly from Google only makes sense if you're not currently under contract or soon will be out of one.

I think even in that case you still benefit from getting 4 months service, phone for $180 since on the 121st day discontinuing the service price tag you pay for the phone is $499.96 + tax... so why pay $530 for the phone only if you can get phone+4 months of service for $500...?

I guess some ppl will not be willing to hasle with all going back and forth with contracts, etc...

That's all too expensive for me. I pay $60/month for the G1 and I don't particularly want to go to $80/month for the nexus one when I can drop down to $40/month and get the Droid on my parent's Verizon account.
