Today T-Mobile has made things official for availability and pricing on Google’s recently launched Nexus 5. Arriving for online orders Nov. 14 and in stores on Nov. 20, T-Mobile will be offering the 16GB Nexus 5 for $41.99 down with its usual monthly payments of $17. That brings the total cost of the device on T-Mobile up to $450, around $50 more than Google charges for the 32GB model and $100 more than the 16GB model on Google Play. That’s not unusual, however. Google has long subsidized the cost of its Nexus devices sold through Google Play.
The device has been going for slightly more than through Google just about everywhere (between $400 and $500), and today Sprint officially started offering the 16GB model for $149 on the usual two-year contract.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to grab the Nexus 5 from Google and take advantage of T-Mobile’s $30 unlimited Web/text 100min pre-paid plan. The carrier confirmed that’s only available for devices purchased at Wal-Mart and activated at T-Mobile.com.
T-Mobile also started accepting preorders for the LTE variant of Google’s new Nexus 7 today. It’s available for $384 or $0 down and $16/month for 24 months.
