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!

A couple of weeks ago I got an invite to Google Wave (much appreciated Chris). To test out it’s capabilities, I wanted to test out two things; how well it would work with 200+ members in a single wave, and if it could work as a crowd sourced news aggregator (kind of a Friendfeed replacement). The result was that wave can get pretty messy when you have so many people in a single wave, but served the purpose of crowd sourcing fairly well. One of the cool features of Google Wave is that you can embed public waves anywhere online. Below you can find the wave embedded:
