So you are saying you cannot make a phone call with an iPad? Sure you can just use Skype Out.
Both phone and an iPad have 3G too. So you CAN make a phone call if you really want to.
But the fact is it took google 74 days to do what apple did in 1 single day selling UNRELEASED product.]]>Mar 17th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Have you ever heard of VOIP?]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/

Are you serious? Google only had the Nexus One advertised on their search engine page, which is the second most visited page on the internet!?! Not to mention it's been advertised on almost every tech and entertainment site I've visited. Go ahead and continue to make excuses! The 3G problems, easily-cracked screens, and off-target touch screens didn't help their sales either!

yup it's so better that when you lose your phone you have to give up a arm and leg just to find out who to talk to get a replacement phone and if you have issues with the phone you have to give up you brain to find out who handles hardware and software support. meanwhile when you have a crack iphone with insurance you get a new iphone in the store.

Very few people look at the adverts, its why theres quite a few of them

Now, stick a TV campaign and a shit tonne of internet advertising, create some hype and pull a press conference where you call it the next ground breaking technology (although, theyd need to take everything that makes the N1 good out first, then release the good things over many years) and it might be comparable to the iphone]]>Mar 17th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Those numbers are to reflect the original launch data of the phones.

Please note that I actually think that model was cheaper because the contract pricing was so much lower. Most people only see upfront costs so the $600.00 price tag is huge. Oh and the droid was being sold for $100.00 - $150.00 a week after it was out and a couple weeks again they were giving them away when with a buy one get one...

Stuff like that inflates the numbers making a 3GS comparison better then a comparison with the first gen iPhone.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/

"The 3G and 3GS, both $199, on the other hand, both hit 1 million sales in 3 days."

Yes, but they were pretty much a worldwide release. The Nexus One is only available in the US, UK and maybe Hong Kong, so, no, not a valid comparison at all.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/
But anyone with half a brain knows that when you sign a contract to get these phones you pay ~$2000 + phone so $2150 vs.$2500 isn't as big of a difference]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/

yep, at the end of 2009, at&t and verizon both had 3 times the number of subscribers as t-mobile, presumably because their coverage just reaches more people.

google could easily sell a million very quickly on verizon if they wanted to. they could put them in stores, run tv ads like crazy, etc, but i doubt they will. you can tell just from their actions that google doesn't really care how many they sell. obviously the only thing apple cared about was how many they could sell.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/

I also like how they conveniently forgot to mention that not only has the N1 sold in ridiculously small quantities when first launched, but it's month-by-month sales are dropping rather dramatically for something that is supposed to be a "Superphone".

(InBefore the excuses that selling phones is not the point of the N1, even though if it wasn't then, they would have simply let HTC sell it only under their own name instead of trying to put the Google name on it front and center)]]>Mar 17th 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/Mar 17th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/google-issues-statement-on-nexus-one-sales-touts-android-market/I think it has more to do with the N1 only being subsidized on T-Mobile, and it's extremely delayed appearance to ATT and VZW. Most people are not willing to pay full price for a phone that will not be compatible with their carrier's 3g network.

There's no denying that it's a cool phone, but its chance at explosive sales has passed. I have a feeling that most people on VZW that were waiting for an Android offering are already carrying Droids, and a sizable chunk of ATT customers will hold out for a subsidized Desire. Sales will increase, but nowhere near to the level of the Droid and iPhone. ]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:01PM
