One of the Nexus - an Unlocked Cell Phone For Savvy Consumer

Has created recently announced the availability of Nexus Google phone quite a stir in the community, and it seems as if the movement is long overdue. For nearly a decade, consumers have been forced to deal with locked "phones, will be the only operation, the carrier specific. This" locked "nature of the devices has prompted consumers to particular carriers, the name of the new phone ( Motorola RAZR, iPhone, Pearl, etc.) and tied for up to two years in an effort tosubsidize the phone and rake in revenue from data at high price / voice plans.

The introduction of the Nexus-One is a big departure from its predecessor business. Besides Nokia, the pride they tried to sell only unlocked cell phones, rarely, carriers now offer unlocks a mobile device for the masses. No one has done in the past, because unlike in Europe (where Nokia controls about 90% of the market), where there is a standard operating system GSM (Global System for Mobile), the United States, GSM (T-Mobile, AT & T) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). To that end, no one had attempted a device with the two systems and provide carriers had a free hand to the security of exclusivity.

All this lasted until January 5, 2010

The announcement and the general availability of carrier-agnostic, GSM / CDMA mobile phone has arrived and is ready to stir things up. Rather than tied to a particular carrier, customers> Nexus you can buy the phone for about almost $ 600 without a carrier or to select a carrier and the phone by subsidizing a plan and pay about $ 200.

The real opportunity here not only for airlines, but are always imposed high costs of transport. In recent years, has grown enormously and infrastructure to reduce costs incurred by network operators to provide voice and data driven. But, as consumers are still paying thethe same amount or more than we did in the late 90s. The Nexus is avoided by shifting some of these costs to consumers the opportunity to use a prepaid SIM card for the GSM version. With this $ 30 SIM card is installed, consumers will be able to use the application Google language to make unlimited calls. Is an important initial investment in the phone, consumers can enjoy the skills, voice and unlimited data for a bare $ 30 per month.

Technological innovations aside,Google, the OS and the Droid Nexus A platform is probably just the beginning of a wave of change in the mobile industry. Gone are the days of locked phones, exclusivity and are cut out as a carrier for voice and data services.
