14 DAY TRIAL // Nexus S by Samsung, the first mobile phone to arrive on the market with Google’s new Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system on board, has just received its first price cut in the UK, only one day before its official launch in the country.
The mobile phone should be put on sale on the UK market tomorrow, December 20th, via Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy, which have just lowered it's off contract cost.
The handset would be released on the local market with a price tag of £429.99 attached to it if purchased without a monthly contract, which is much lower than the £549.99 price tag the phone was listed with since recently.
The retailer did not offer specific info on why it chose to lower the price tag of Nexus S one day before making the phone available for purchase.
The contract price for Nexus S would remain the same, namely free on carrier agreements that start at £30 per month.
