Nexus One Sold Only 20,000 Units
The reports have come in, and the highly anticipated Google Phone, the Nexus One, has only sold 20,000 units in its first week. This is not a lot when compared to the other popular phones (Droid, iPhone, and even some Windows Mobile phones). The Verizon Wireless Droid sold about 250,000 in its first week. Google hasn't done traditional advertising for this phone like Verizon and Motorola did for the Droid. They've only used their Google AdWords to advertise on websites (you've probably seen them on our site), and other internet marketing only. Also, you can't buy it in stores, only from Google's website. Could it also be the fact that its only available on T-Mobile (or At&t without 3G and full price)? Perhaps when it gets released for Verizon sales will pick up.
Analysts have estimated that there would be 5-6 million Nexus One phones sold this year, so even though its a slow start, maybe things will pick up eventually.
So far the biggest reported issue is 3G connectivity, which HTC and T-Mobile are working on as we speak.

if it was on a carrier, it would’ve sold tons already…
It’s on a carrier, T-Mobile. Now what they should have done is compare how many people got into new or renewed their contracts to get the phone. How large is TMOs customer base compared to AT&T and Verizon. I think they are testing the waters starting out slowly to get the kinks out. Also how many people already into their iPhone or just got into a Droid? Lots of other things to consider..
ridiculous comparison… its all because the carrier..
or the fact that they force you into an $80 a month plan?
You know, I’ve been to the T-Mo site…
You can’t get the Nexus from them…
I’ve been to Amazon… Can’t get it there either…
Course, I haven’t seen an ad for it on TV… So why would I want to get it? The Droid does, the iPhone has an app for that, and Verizon has the largest 3g network, but AT&T lets me talk and surf at the same time…
What the dumb, heck, stupid, horrible concept is this ‘news’? 20,000 units… Not bad for a phone that is only on the google site!
Well thats what they get for releasing it on the worst network. Well, actually AT&T is the worst, but you get my drift.
