Mrbill.. care to explain what “problems” u r speaking of? I love the n1. I am a T-Mobile customer care rep and can tell u that if u are on the 4th replacement, its user stupidity (or to be PC… user ERROR). And please people! Quit bitching at T-Mobile for not selling it! Would u bitch at your internet provider for not selling a particular TV?

i think the nexus one will do well, can anyone remeber when microsoft launched the xbox when ps2 had sold tons and tons more units, then when xbox 360 came out it was a hit even though it was up against ps3 blu-ray.

@Davros
Just like any product that IS defective not all of the units made/sold exhibit signs of the defect. I am truly happy that you and your colleague(s) are not having any problems with yours and I agree if it worked correctly, the Nexus One would probably be the “best smartphone out there”. I am on my 3rd one and about to exchange it for a 4th one due to various problems. I would be happy to swap phone with you and pay all of the shipping. You see all I really want is what I paid for…… A phone that works, as advertised.

@mrbill
You can absolutely confirm this because you have personally checked all of them?

Myself and a colleague have nexus one’s and we have had no problems whatsoever. In fact another colleague has a 3GS and after he played with my N1 wanted to swap it. Its the best smartphone I’ve used by a mile. IMHO it is FAR superior to the iphone.

You may be missing the big picture: the droid is still an Android device and it sold very well. I think as long as the android platform continues to sell, it really doesn’t matter what device its on. That part of the beautiful of Android is its on multiple devices to meet others needs.

However this doesn’t devalue the fact that we do need one killer Android device to face up against the Iphone. Is it the Nexus one? eh?

Not even surprising…This is the first phone being sold by Google at full price. Not everybody is willing to pay the full price for a phone. If the iPhone and Droid were released at full price [both more than the N1] They would have the same results. This comparison is irrelevant. Sell the iTool and Droid for full price THEN compare them.

Nexus will never have big numbers until it is on a big network.

I waited months for this phone to come out. The distribution method they chose was at best WACK. T-Mobile talked me into the Even-More Unlimited plan a month before with the understanding I would pay full price for my next phone, but I would be able to make spread the cost of the phone over 2 years. Then this phone comes out and they tell me I can’t spread the payments out because T-Mobile isn’t directly offering the phone. In this current economic climate I can not justify paying over $500 for a phone. So I will wait until T-Mobile offers another Android phone that qualifies for my plan.

I won’t buy a phone I can’t get my hands on and play with.
T-Mobile’s network is too thin — unacceptable.
The N1 has had too many problems – I won’t pay to beta test.
Bottom line: Epic fail

Gross numbers don’t look that great, but the fact that sales haven’t faded in the following weeks isn’t such a bad sign. I’ll probably buy one this week, especially if if the latest OTA really has fixed the reception issues.

Giving it only t-mobile 3G bands was a bad move. Like many people, I would have had one by now if I could use it on my AT&T 3G network. I have no interest in switching to a t-mobile plan with such small 3G coverage. =\

like others i would have bought one the very first day it went on sale… if it was available in canada, and worked on rogers wireless.

as much as i love the nexus one, im really disappointed that its not available for canada. i mean, we’re canadians just next to our friends in US but always get treated like we’re some third world country. since the device is unlocked, should have gone north american from day 1. come on google

The one thing I haven’t seen mentioned by anyone yet as a reason for the pathetic sales is the elephant in the room. The Nexus One is LOADED with problems. It is a defective product and not only should all sales be halted until it is fixed, there should be a recall to fix the ever-growing list of problems. To continue to sell a product that has been and continues to be documented to be defective, is bordering on a criminal offense. Also, no one has ventured to guess how many of those 80,000 beta-test units sod have been returned.
