It's a lovely phone, especially when it was first released, the only problem is the lack of advertising. Sure there were (and still are) web ads, but you never saw this phone in print or TV ads. As stated in the article it was never available at retail. The device is stunning, the truest competitor to the iPhone yet but.. Google really botched the launch and placement.
Good thing I have one, and I effing love it.

Yeah, it's a shame. It really is one of the better form factors running Android, and it's still a quality smartphone.

Most people haven't heard of the Nexus One because there were no TV commercials. Web ads may be the future, but TV ads are the present are clearly have more impact. It's probably easier to find someone that has heard of the N1 vs finding someone that hasn't heard of the iPhone.
Scott WebsterJul 12th 2010 12:57PM
The Nexus One was considered an experiment from day one. Go back and watch the announcements. The main reason for its existence was to move phone technology forward, and in that, it succeeds. We would probably not have the EVO 4G, Droid X, or Droid Incredible level of Android phones were it not for the Nexus One.
Don't you think Google would have advertised it elsewhere if they really needed to or wanted to?

This really is a misleading article. While the Nexus One may not have changed the way phones are sold, the Android operating system not only rivals but surpasses the iPhone.

You forgot the phrase "...in my opinion." It's pointless to argue which OS is better because they have different strengths and different users want different things.

One of the reasons of its perceived failure is the lack of support from the media (this article is one that exhibits such). Although one can argue that media should be independent and unbiased (although this does not seem to apply to everything that begins with a lower case "i" as the media's infatuation with Apple as one would reasonably believe), Google's aim to break the carriers' lock on handsets is admirable and, one can say, even worthy of promotion. Case in point: the iPhone is available in England on all 5 carriers (subsidized and locked), but you can also buy it from the Apple Store unsubsidized but unlocked). Google was trying to go for the same thing, but the carriers and the mass market did not support them. Granted, they "did not market it right," or that they did not make it available enough (and easily), but it still lacked the necessary consumer awareness that mass media could have easily afforded it (the effort, not the phone nor Google itself). Now I can't help but think that this article is an example of Scahdenfreude. Go ahead, rub it in. After all, we're all better off that Google was not able to break the carriers' hold on our smartphones, right?
By the way, it is rather curious that Weblogs, Inc. has a blog called "TUAW," or "The Unofficial Apple Weblog," isn't it?
