Google Jan. 15 pared the price of its Nexus One smartphone by $100 for existing T-Mobile subscribers. The Nexus One will cost all existing T-Mobile subscribers $279. T-Mobile customers with data plans who bought the Nexus One are being refunded the $100 difference. Google began selling the Nexus One Jan. 5 from its Webstore, a move that was supposed to give the company more control over sales of the device. Google hoped this model would be a launching pad for mobile advertising on its search engine and other Web services, but the company has been beset by customer service issues and outrage over its equipment recovery fee.
