Ok, I am pretty up on the exact topic that is going on here so I will try and clarify the plan at this point...
1) Pricing on the EVO - Retail: $599 - 2 Year: $299 AFTER $100 MIR
2) There is no charge for the 4G connection planned at this time
3) There will be a charge for the WiFi routing option currently planned at $30 (like tethering)
4) The EVO is due (subject to change of course) to Business Customers: June 6th - Premiere Members: June 13th - Retail Sales: June 20th.
Now, why go with the N1 vs. EVO?
Do you like the Sense interface? If not, you ain't gonna like the Evo...
Do you want to customize? If so, the Evo won't offer much outside of Sense...
Do you like frequent updates? The N1 will probably get way more of them...
Now, in fairness, the N1 will be almost a year old when the Evo is released. If you think about the Apple Plan (as it has become known) and how they release an 'updated' device every year - it might be time for a new Nexus One for Verizon and Sprint - and that might be the hold up in it hitting the market. Could we see a 4G Nexus one by the end of 2010 to compete with the Evo - and we already have information about the Moment 2 or whatever they are officially calling it.
