Google slashes Nexus One early termination fee


A recent FCC inquiry has apparently prompted Google to slash its Nexus One early termination fee (ETF) from $350 to $150. 

Meanwhile, a $250 fee for existing T-Mobile customers upgrading to the  smartphone was lowered to $50. 


As Tim Conneally of Beta News notes, the Nexus One can be used with multiple carriers, including T-Mobile.

As such, Nexus One owners who terminate their contracts are typically penalized by both Google and their wireless provider of choice. 


Indeed, T-Mobile customers are currently required to pay a separate, $200 ETF to the company.

As TG Daily previously reported, the Nexus One smartphone has been plagued by a number of 3G connectivity related issues, including a recent widespread outage that left a number of customers without data coverage.

The outages forced Google to release an over-the-air the update on February 2 that added multi-touch support and offered a possible 3G connectivity fix.



Google has also launched an official Nexus One service hotline to supplement its online help chat service.

Seriously, every one of you persons has used extremely incorrect grammar and terrible misspellings. It is quite alright to stop and think before you type, instead of pounding out a message as quickly as possible. Dell is having issues
with the letter "t". Ralf is missing a comma. (not bad in my opinion). Yes MD put an "s" on the end of "need", even though their was nothing to possess. Words cannot express what JTHUNDER has done.
