Nexus One buyers do not want to pay money when returning

Buyers of the Nexus One mobile phone from Google, who are already dissatisfied with 3G coverage and incomprehensible customer support, speak negatively of the need to pay $ 350 when returning the phone after a two-week trial period, but earlier than 120 days. Compensation costs are listed on Google’s “Terms of Sale” section. In addition, the American mobile operator T-Mobile withholds customers $ 200 for early termination of the contract. This applies to those who have purchased a google phone at a discount, for $ 179, having signed a two-year contract with T-Mobile.

T-Mobile explains that both “fines” are valid if the contract is terminated before the expiration of 120 days, but $ 200 can be reduced to $ 100, if the customer terminates the contract, when it remains from 91 to 180 days, and to $ 50, if before contract validity ends in less than 90 days. Those who purchased the phone without discounts, for $ 529 from Google, do not need to pay $ 350 for the return of the device.

Let me remind you that when you signed a contract with T-Mobile for two years, the cost of the pipe was reduced to 179 dollars.
That is, I returned the phone in two weeks - pay $ 350
Returned before the expiration of 120 days from the beginning of the contract - $ 200
Returned 180 days before the end of the contract - $ 100
Returned 90 days before the end of the contract - $ 50

Google noted that the amount of $ 350 is the compensation of Google for the discounts that the company provides to customers who buy the device along with the package of services of the cellular operator. According to Google, this is “standard practice” for resellers. And iSuppli Corp. calculated the cost of the "stuffing" Nexus One and reached the amount of $ 174.15. It does not include the cost of production, the cost of software accessories and royalties.
