The new Google Nexus One smartphone was launched earlier this month -- the device is on T-mobile now and will hit Verizon later this year. Some early adapters of the device on T-Mobile have found that the device drops 3G connectivity randomly. The exact cause of the issue has not yet been officially announced.

The early adopters of the Nexus One paid $379 for the device on an upgrade plan when it debuted. The device sold unlocked for $529 and a new user could get the smartphone for $179 with a 2-year contract. Google has announced today that it is cutting the upgrade price for the Nexus One by $100.

Before all the early adopters out there cry foul, Google has already said that it will be refunding those who purchased the phone at the original $379 the $100 difference. It's not clear if Google will be refunding the money back to the credit card that was used for the original purchase or via other means.

Other good news is that T-Mobile will reportedly be broadening the number of users who can upgrade to the Nexus One without having to break existing contracts. There are still a few issues that many will want to see resolved before hopping on the bandwagon with the Nexus One. The most troubling is the early termination fee that Google will charge buyers of the phone in addition to the early termination fee the carrier itself will charge.
