Google Lowers Nexus One ETF to $150

Google recently indicated via its support forums that it has lowered the early termination fee for its Nexus One smartphone from $350 to $150.

They backed down because they knew they couldn't seriously justify it.
ah well
Still a pretty high ETF total. Could be why sales weren't so huge; plus, no advertising and confusing support in the beginning.
This phone is great though. I'd recommend it to anyone. I've used it on att (no 3G) but the processor really helps, and it get decent reception out here, not in a major city.
I wish Google luck because I think if they succeed they will lower prices when they have a mass following.

Is that not counting the Nexus One ad to my right as I type this, or the fact it was featured on Google's home page?
