Verizon Nexus One Price

Reports are swirling this morning that the Nexus One from Google will be offered for $199.99 with new 2 year agreement from Verizon, with the unsubsidized $529.99 pricing also inline with Verizon’s own unsubsidized smartphone pricing.

The biggest news however, is a new rumor stating that the Verizon version will feature something that the previous GSM and T-Mobile compatible models do not, with the most logical conclusion being the addition of HTC’s Sense user interface. This is buoyed by internal Verizon employee documentation initially confirming the addition, then being retracted soon after the leak was made public.

The addition of the Sense user interface on the CDMA version also explains the launch delay of that version from its original target date of March 23rd and would give the CDMA version an advantage over the GSM versions.
