Google Nexus One phone price in India:

For some reason we are sure that Google won’t follow Apple’s kind of pricing scheme with its phone. The preliminary information shows that it has enough goodies needed for a top level smartphone. We are not sure about the price at this time. However, if there’s Snapdragon,AMOLED touch screen, graphics processor and around 8-16 GB memory, theprice of Google phone Nexus One could be around 600-750USD. So that's approximately 30K-33K in India.
