Hasta La Gadget!

A week after Google announced that the Nexus One’s online store would be phased out and the phone would begin selling at retail locations, the company is making good on its word. The retail store i wireless, which sells T-Mobile phones in more than 250 stores in the Midwestern U.S., will be the first retailer to carry the Nexus One in-store. I wireless has stores and dealers across Iowa, western Illinois, and eastern Nebraska.

I wireless will sell the Nexus One for $300 after rebates with a new T-Mobile contract. That’s $120 more than the price you can purchase the Nexus One for at Google’s online store with a T-Mobile contract. The difference between these two is that i wireless will let customers choose any calling and data plan, whereas Google requires the Even More 500 plan, which is $79.99 a month.

The online store where you can buy an unlocked or T-Mobile-contracted Nexus One is still alive over at www.google.com/phone. There’s no way to know when the Web store is going to shut down. If you’re still interested in grabbing a Nexus One, it might be better to get it from Google directly because there’s no way to know when the phone will be coming to a store near you.
