More like $70 a month with tax, which the chart should have guesstimated. Also, the Nexus One is $529, not $579. Also, T-Mobile offers 1000 minutes for a year for $100, with minutes that don't expire as long as you keep refilling in time. Since the phone has WiFi, and there are likely ways around text messaging, the prepaid option is like getting 333 minutes a month for $33.33 a month, 500 minutes a month for $50, or if you rarely use the phone, as affordable as 83 minutes a month for $8.33 a month. You can get a good plan for $529 + $200 = $729 for 24 months, which represents out of pocket costs of $30 a month to have an internet-connected 1Ghz "mini-netbook" with you, that can also make and receive calls. Who needs those clunky, heavy $300-800 netbooks now? I imagine Google Phones will become the new "netbooks", sold for $300-500 at Costco stores alongside actual netbooks, next Christmas.
