Thinking of buying Nexus One - Help Needed

[IBFUser]

Friend is coming from US next week and i was thinking of buying Nexus One. Need help from Nexus One Users (I think admin had it before Nexus S)Here are the few questions i have : - 1. I am getting it for around $275 ( Rs. 12500) . Is that a fair deal/VFM ?2. I think it comes with 2.1. Does it get 2.2/2.3 upgrade ?3. if it does get 2.2/2.3 upgrade, will it support flash without any issues. ?4. any other cons you can list here will be helpful.5. i am getting this from Amazon, Do you know any other good sites where i can look/shop for mobiles for US

Is that an unlocked phone you are talking about for $275?

technically nexus one is not on sale any longer. at least in the US market. so he is either getting a refurbished unit or a second hand one.

Check out this link you might get some good deals for 100-150USD.

I bought recently 1TB portable HDD from this site and it's good.

Not sure about Phones as lots of technicals are involved in it. They claim it is unlocked with no-contracts. You need to make sure these phone support Indian GSM operators.

Checked the site but most of the deals are with service contracts. Thanks for the link though.

It could be a stock clearance.
