I would like to buy the Nexus One when it comes out... Info?

Okay so I have read online that it will have the snapdragon processor, 5 MP camera, and some other basic stuff but I was wondering first off how could google subsidize it for 200 dollars? is that a realistic rumor? Also will it be touch by pressure or heat like the iphone?? If anyone has any other input or info could you please tell me??? BEcause I want to buy it when it comes out on the 5th... thanks (web links would help)
