Nexus is a FLOP!

I doubt it, it surprises me how many people out there have no clue this phone exists.
Even T-Mo users who are looking for a new android device are like, "Huh?" when I mention N1.

People -in general- only buy what they're told to buy. There's a reason companies spend millions on television advertising... it's the only thing that gets through to us.

i agree as well. as long as google keeps supporting this phone i like the fact that not too many people own it. i prefer to own a phone that the joe-six-packs of the world have no clue about b/c they don't see commercials for it every 15mins on TV and therefore the phone isn't designed to cater to the lowest common denominator.

It honestly amazes me at the amount of ******ation people have.

Google is trying to change the U.S market with the Nexus One. Crazy? No. With the powers of Google they can do it, and is doing it.

How or what I'm I talking about you ask?

Overseas (other than the U.S) people already buy their phones outright, here in the U.S people buy what their told via advertising, because they are to stupid to think for themselves, not to mention most don't know jack about tech stuff.

Lets put it this way..if Google really wanted to get this phone out there they could advertise their ass off with the amount of cash they sit on. But they haven't because their letting the word of mouth and Google ads sell the phone, and THAT has actually set sale records by itself.

Just Curious, how so?

let's see... after requesting a return for refund (I shipped back my 1st Nexus, in box, with everything original in it)... instead of refunding me, they sent me back Nexus in a generic box, no battery, no accessories, no documention, basically nothing... so had to return that... then they said 2 weeks to get a refund... it took OVER 7 weeks to get it... saying it was Google's issue... then Google saying it was HTC's issue... took a gazillion phone calls and ultimately threats of legal action combined with the last phone call demanding this get resolved before I got off the phone.... took my persistence, along with finally a Google customer tech that cared enough to dig deeper and contact HTC directly, to get it resolved...

imo, HTC is the worst company i've ever come across in regards to customer service... they plain effing suck.... maybe in other countries it's better (the UK guys seem to have very good HTC support)... but here in the US... HTC support is an effing JOKE.... I never say never, or at the very least I know I shouldn't, but trust me... my Nexus is the LAST HTC device I'll ever buy... I'm using now, only because there is currently nothing better out there for T-Mo.... as soon as there is... goodbye HTC device.... I sure hope Google partners with someone else for the Nexus Two... because I am DONE with HTC...
