Ok let me start off by saying that I have the nexus one and love it, I definitely think its better then the iPhone and is one of the better android phones. With that said though, I can't say I'm suprised with the lackluster sales, and I can't see that changing anytime soon for a couple of reasons
First, I haven't seen any advertising for this phone, no commercials or anything, just a banner or 2 here and there online, which definetly isn't enough since most people like myself don't pay attention to all those things when we're online. You can't sell something without advertising it, that's pretty obvious, you've seen what Verizon's ad campaign has done for the droid and the same thing should have been done for this phone
Second, they released the phone right after the holiday season which is a horrible time to release it considering that by then, most people had already gotten their smartphone fix. They should of released it earlier if possible
I also think people aren't used to buying phones in this manner, they're used to just going to the phone company nd buying the phone they want, so that might have something to do with it as well. Either way though, its just a shame that such a good phone is going to see lackluster sales, but maybe that will change once Verizon's version comes out.
But hey maybe I'm wrong and have no idea what I'm talking about lol it wouldn't be the first time! Thoughts???
