^^what he said
My speculation is in the $180-220 range subsidized.
I'm going with two theories:
Either they do what I expect they do, (because Sprint's marketing department needs a lobotomy) and they make it $399 with a $100 rebate, for $299.99 total.
OR, they can do the SMART thing for once in their corporate lives, and make this phone competitive (since they want subscribers AND 4G folk) and make it $249.99 or $299.99, with a $100 rebate, for a final price of either $149.99 or $199.99. If they REALLY want to be smart? $249.99 out the door, no rebate.
Honestly, I'd pay 400 for it.
I'm not going to get my premier discount since I got the Hero in October, but I don't care, I'm forking out for it.
This thing is a game changer. DSL speeds in my own phone with a mobile hotspot built in for 8 devices? Show me where to sign.
they need to cut out that rebate ****, when best buy can sell it at the same price or lower minus the rebate hassle, you know sprint can too.

Just look at HTC device pricing by the carriers. Touch Pro2 for both Sprint and T-Mobile are both north of $250 with rebates and look how popular they have been. The HD2 for T-mobile is curently $199.99 with rebates and it would be wise of Sprint to keep the EVOs price point no more than that (at least at release).
Something to note as of now on Sprint's site the Hero s $149.99 and the moment is $99.99. looks like the Moment was popular for about as long as its name entails
The moment was imo a monumental flop. I work with a guy who has one and it sucks.
Somewhere between 199 299 after rebates but it could be as high as 399. This is certainly a premium teir device, there is no skirting that. Assuming that the nexus one will be available by this time it will probably be hard for me to make a decision between the two. The main reason for this is that although the nexus one will have a higher un-subsidised cost (and a few less features), it won't require me to sign up for an even MORE expensive 4G plan and it will still have that sweet sweet Snapdragon chipset we love so much.
As we all know, sprint has not released any details regarding their pricing or plans however if I were a betting man, I would bet that sprint will not allow you to activate this device without paying for a plan that includes 4G data (obviously a premium service). That being said, I sure hope they don't go the route of some of their previous devices and actually do a tiered launch where the phone is ONLY available in markets that have 4G coverage. This would pretty much ensure the N1 as my only option this fall when I'm eligible for an upgrade.

why do you say obviously? 4G is the future I don't see them pricing it higher that would be pointless.
If I were to guess I say 3G/4G will be at the same price point, they'd shoot themselves in the foot if they launched this device requiring 4G when its still going to be in a select market.

Did anyone see this?? EVO might be available in April????
I seriously doubt April, but I have a feeling I'll find out more on 3/31. As for unsubsidized pricing, Sprint NEVER has a smartphone for less than $500-550, so whoever is saying $450, forget it.
You should figure $249/$299 + $150 (2 year discount) + $100 (other instant discounts) + $100 rebate.

I agree..there's currently no price difference in their mobile broadband price for 4g/3g and 3g only. Would not make sense to tack on an extra price for 4g..tho I would say, I wonder if 4g will remain unlimited...
It was a bargain at Google's online outlet. How can they have the balls to say the phone is a $699.00 retail phone? $300.00 with a new two year T-Mobile contract? This isn't going to help sales.
Here it is at i-wireless
Here it is at Pure Wireless for AT&T - no contract price of $638.00 plus shipping.
Ugh - I hope this isn't going to be a sign of what's to come.
Wow, never even thought of seeing it at those prices. I'm not sure what to make of this actually because they were talking about selling it at retail outlets, not on the internet.
This one is my favorite.

Those seem like 3rd party retailers, they always seem to bloat the prices so they make money off of it, if you go directly to an official store, they'll have it at the actual price. I heard t-mobile is going to start selling it officially.

NOUN
1. sale to consumers: the selling of goods directly to customers, e.g. in stores
"She works in retail."
ADVERB
1. not wholesale: from an ordinary store or at the regular customer price and in small amounts rather than in bulk
"I bought it retail."
This is something that maybe has a different connotation elsewhere but retail around here refers to brick and mortar. Before there was an internet something not bought at retail or catalog sales from a retailer was either mail order or private sale. Nowdays you can add internet sales to that as a different venue to shop but it is not retail.
edit... Maybe its just because I'm old. Let me rephrase, its not retail to me or basically anyone I know. I'm going to have to ask one of my kids the next time they come over.
This is what I've been saying all along. It's not carriers they mentioned, they said third party retail, like amazon, best buy, frys electronics, etc. I mean what carriers are left? They all passed on the nexus, so the only places left are stores.

Did I say retail? I asked if this is a sign of things to come because NO ONE has yet announced the Nexus One is slated for their retail outlet. Also, the AT&T version is "temporarily unavailable" from the Google online store.

And this happened because they are letting inventory drop before allowing a retailer to take over? A $99.00 AT&T Nexus at Walmart would be outstanding. With my luck, it will end up at Radio Shack for $429.00 with a new contract. My wife now wants one.

Well, we're waiting a few days for the new iphone to come out. If I peddle that on Ebay new and unopened and contract free, it ought to bring enough profit to pay for a good part of a new N1. I just hope it's available for a reasonable price somewhere when we're ready to buy.

They said retail in their announcement. You know, it turns out people want to get their hands on them, or whatever the language was. I dont feel like looking it up but I'm sure you recall that. That is why I wonder exactly what this is all about. This isnt going to move many more handsets than their own direct sales. Thats where I was going about it not making sense. It doesnt jive with what they said.
FYI, I Wireless is a cell phone provider based out of Iowa, and is affiliated with T-Mobile USA, although both are still separate companies. They have had the Nexus One since the end of March at select corporate locations. The reason they are priced that much is because they had to buy them 5 at a time from Google in order to offer them to customers. They did this because they wanted to offer their customers the Nexus One, and this was the only way they could at a discount.
With the change in Google policy, they are now available at every location in the company. But here is the thing, Google is still selling the phone to retailers and carriers, and they are charging an arm and a leg for each unit. $300 on contract is still a large discount from what the whole sale price of the phone is for most retailers... some retailers and carriers, ie T-Mobile, are getting a better deal, thus can offer a lower price. But they are also taking a bigger hit than others are (they can afford to because they have a larger customer base, thus if they only make $20 over a 2 year contract off a Nexus One owner, they can handle that because they have so many customers it still adds up to millions in the end).

Well, $529.00 retail/no contract is not an arm and a leg. The price should drop in half or more with a new 2 year contract - the plans have fat in the price to provide a hefty $300.00 or more sudsidy. AT&T just increased their early termination contract penalty to $325.00 on smart phones to make sure they recover their subsidy. Something is just not right with this picture.
Man, Google is dumb here.
Why does it have to be online-only or store-only?
What they should have done is send one or two phones to all T-Mobile stores, and maybe have an online kiosk too. Then people can check it out in person and BOOM, sold.
It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I Wireless doesn't charge $325, though. And like I already said, they were buying them 5 at a time at full retail price just to offer them to their customers. That is a $260 subsidy... but that in perspective, if you gave that discount on a BB Bold 9700, the phone would be about $50. In general, most phones are subsidized about $100 for a dumb phone and $200 for a smartphone. And net the carrier about $50-$100 in total profit over a 2 year contract. Verizon and AT&T make much more than the T-Mobile's, and especially I Wireless of the world.

Yeah, they could have done something different, that's for sure. Walmart? Best Buy? These guys can buy in enough volume to put them out there are a reasonable price.
I called customer care today and found out the following.
2 year contract - $199.99 (nothing new)
1 year contract - $299.99
no contract - $439.99
There's also a partial discount for early upgrades, but I forgot what she said. I was too shocked by the no contract price.

PS just spoke to Tmo CS and there is some sort of contract involved with the $439 price but the CS rep covered so much material (you'd think it wouldn't be that complicated) that i gave up trying to make sense of what she was explaining

Both the TMobile and ATT versions have 16GB.
Also I believe if you're out of contract they will unlock it for you anyway... Or you can pay someone $10 to do it OTA.
I think what'll hurt TMobile's sales more than anything is ATT's $350 no-contract pricing on the Captivate.

As for ATT's $350 price. I'll believe it when I see it on their order page and an order is actually shipped. The $350 came from an AT&T employee answering a question. Who knows where they got their information from. Seems like a case of misinformation just like T-mobile when they had it listed for $329.

When you pay the full price Yes it is locked, you have to ask them to unlock it. and if you run into some new guy tell him your in and out of the country regularly.
I have not had a sim locked phone in 3 years, I do it all the time.
If your worried about it, ask before you buy.

I've confirmed it like three different days with them... Seems to be good so far.
so if i were to buy this phone for the $200 2yr contract price, and i had a $100 credit, would i be getting it for $100? i know this is a stupid question, but i've been scouring the net looking for a price for current customers. and if i could confirm the $100 price, i'd pretty much induce a coma until thursday so i wouldn't have to wait.
You don't have a $100 credit, you have a $100 credit LINE. That means you can pay $100 down and three payments of $33.
Also, No Contract price is $499! Quit spreading misinformation.

I'm located in BC, Canada. Does anyone have experience to buying google devices on play.google.com?
Those of you in Canada, did you have to pay tax? Or is it $309 outright?
One more question, can we preorder the phone or do we have to wait til Nov 13 to buy the phone online?
Thanks~!
I'm sure there will be taxes collected somehow... as for when we order I'm not sure. Hoping earlier then the 13 so we get it on that day. So in other words a pre-order.

When you place your order it will be from Google Canada Corp. You will be charged HST and shipping. There are no pre-orders.
Thanks for the promptly replies! I think I'll buy it in stores to save on the shipping. How soon do you think Futureshop or Bestbuy will start selling the N4? Right on the 13th?
Thanks~!
Doubt it. Maybe 2-7 days after. There hasn't been any leaked info about anyone carrying it in stores in Canada yet. Same with carriers. The only carrier that I have seen that has any info on if they will be carrying it is tmobile. That's it.
I could be wrong tho.

For profit. They know people will pay $20 or 30 more because they won't buy it online. You might be able to price match it if your lucky.
Profit. Cover costs like shipping. Marketing etc. Wouldn't be surprised if I see if for 450+ in stores.

Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.
Well hopefully it won't be too expensive... When I got the nexus 7 from best buy when it first came out, they charged the same as play store (259 CAD).
$403.20 after tax
dayum
btw, anybody here on wind/mobilicity?
As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

I'm looking to buy the Nexus 4 for my sister who's in Mobilicity. There aren't many phones out there on AWS. :s

As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

Aww I guess my case was because I bought a tablet, not a phone. Thanks!

Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.

Are you talking about the nexus 4 specifically or (smartphones) in general? If in general I doubt they'll be able to get that much of a discount, especially off the 8gb version.
Wait a moment! So for Canadians (me) it's 359.99 + 20.00 Shipping + 13% Tax?
Are you forreal ._.

Oooooh noooooo. Super expensive. /sarcasm.
Really tho. Even at 400 that's cheap compared to a lot of somewhat comparable phones on the market.

I didn't make any profit from selling my S3 ;'(
UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.
After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:
All prices include VAT.
All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.
So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?

Ouch. Guess they're confident enough in the Nexus line now that they're looking for a profit on devices now too. Maybe a shift to selling subsidized on carriers is more of a priority.

Ya I'm gonna pass
That has to mean that the 64GB version will be $699. That is really crazy for a nexus device.
$650 I'll pass

I hope they fail so they know the main reason people bought nexus devices was because of a cheap price tag
pass like nash
In my opinion the point of nexus to make high specs phone with instant android version updates with low budget which i cannot find in N6 :/
sorry for my English
750$ in Canada....OUCH, WHY GOOGLE, WHY

Too rich for my blood - and for a lot of other people's too, it appears - Google's going to continue to sell the Nexus 5 for those of us without bottomless pockets
Interesting how LOLLIPOP (there - we can say it now!) is built to run on lower spec devices, yet they're still pushing the highest of high ends with this. Not complaining at all - it looks like a beast, alas one I'm unlikely to get to own
When I heard of N6 and it's specs I say: I selling my N5 and must have N6!!
But not when I read about prices.
going back to Samsung, better pay premium for a premium device, not this nexus 5.5
I thought this was the unlocked carrier price, not the Play price...

Samsung always seems to plasticy for me.
As for the $649 I am okay with it. This phone is very comparable to other flag ship devices, so it isn't like it is more expensive then the other phones out there in it range. I think many are just bummed because they are used to paying about half that for a Nexus. I already knew I was getting this phone no matter what and planned for it to be about this expensive just in case. One thing I hope this price does is bring down the bottle neck when it comes time to preorder.
i hope then dont charge shipping unlike during nexus 5 there was a shipping charge. shipping charge is going bring this phone to 700 usd
$649 is a total letdown...
I wonder if that $49.99 with contract deal is real.
Nexus 5 was too succesfull. I'll pass on this, too expensive.

probaby $49.99 a month....
Well I guess I'm out at that price.
Hate to say it but if I'm going $650 I may as well go iPhone in case I want to sell it.
Guess I'll pick up a MotoX 2ndGen after Christmas
Supposedly Tmobile is charging $650 for the 64gb. It doesn't make sense for it to be cheaper than the play store.
The price hasn't been announced officially yet, there's still hope.
If its 650 I'm out
