Here’s some sad news to end 2009 with: The Google Nexus One handset is going to be a whopping $530 without a contract from T-Mobile USA. That means that Google won’t really be turning the mobile world on its head come January 5th when the phone starts being sold to customers. Phooey.

how is this number “whopping” when it is mid priced, and much cheaper than other smartphones with lesser specs (ie blackberry, n900, iphone 3gs?)?
