So, as Gizmodo has reported, it appears Google isn’t selling an unlocked phone at the ridiculous price of $200 for which we once dreamed.

$530 no contract/unlocked? That’s actually pretty good considering a 3GS is $599/$699. They’re also selling it for less than Verizon does the Droid (sans contract).  It’s disappointing they didn’t toss in support for AT&T’s 3G bands, but it does support T-Mobile and World 3G frequencies.  Technically speaking it does offer the best display tech (available right now) with nearly the highest resolution on a mobile device.    It’s also the first phone to have a full speed Snapdragon inside.

Who will offer it in Canada? As noted by  Electronista, only new mobile competitor WIND Mobile (T-Mobile spectrum buddy) currently support the Nexus One’s 3G frequencies.

What’s your view on the fate of the Nexus One? Leave your feedback in the comments!

I recently posted on FriendFeed when news started to spread that Motorola would be releasing a version of the Droid in Canada with TELUS. We’re not sure for the reason, but it appears they will be calling it the “Motorola Milestone” instead of Droid. One of the interesting points was that the Milestone “will come with multitouch capabilities right out of the box” and a link to a leaked video of it in action. Jeremy brought up the differences between Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris. With most reviews leaning toward the HTC Droid Eris as a better phone we can only hope HTC decided to bring it to Canada. You can see the Friendfeed conversation below:
