It's a good thing that sales are not indicative of quality.
I'm not sure what goals Google or HTC wanted to set sales wise with the Nexus One but I'm sure sales would be better if they had them in stores. To spend such an amount on something you can't physically get hold of without buying it is asking quite a lot from some people.
Thankfully, I'm silly enough to throw such an amount of cash on something I've never seen in the flesh!
