Nexus is a FLOP!

[SnotF]

You can actually go to a vzw store and swap out a phone if certain criteria exists. Ive done it already with my storm.

Not sure what those criteria are, you didn't disclose them. What I can latest to is y friend experience with the Droid, dust under screen, bad chargingport, bad proximity sensor,now on his 4th mailed out phone.

HTC CEO: Nexus One Is A Success

Despite customer service problems
and sluggish sales, Peter Chou says
his company's Android phone has
done well.
LAS VEGAS -- The launch of Google 's
Nexus One smart phone appears to
have been a mess of customer
service mishaps, delayed
international launches and lower-
than-expected sales figures.
Nevertheless, HTC Chief Executive
Peter Chou, whose company
designed the Nexus One, considers
the device a success.
In an interview Wednesday at the
CTIA Wireless conference in Las
Vegas, Chou said the Nexus One's
innovative design would help HTC
attract new business, regardless of its
consumer reception. The phone,
which Google ( GOOG - news - people
) is selling direct to consumers
through an online store, was the first
device to feature Google turn-by-turn
driving directions and carry the latest
version (2.1) of Google's Android
operating system, among other
features.
Chou says the experience will
improve HTC's other Google Android
phones. "We can quickly leverage that
credit to show that we are the top
Android brand," he contends. Google
is also satisfied with the phone,
according to Chou. "[Google's] goal
with the Nexus One was to really
show how good Android can be,"
Chou said. "In that regard, I think it
has been an achievement."
Earlier this month, mobile analytics
firm Flurry estimated that the Nexus
One had sold fewer than 150,000
units since its January debut. Analysts
at Goldman Sachs ( GS - news - people
) have also said the phone didn't
meet sales expectations. Chou
declined to comment on sales, saying
only, "Considering Google didn't do
[standard] retail or marketing for it,
the Nexus One is doing pretty well."
Indeed, these days, HTC seems
chipper about everything, including a
patent lawsuit from Apple ( AAPL -
news - people ). In early March the
iPhone maker charged the company
with infringing 20 of its technology
patents. HTC has said it will
vigorously defend itself. (See " HTC
Vows To Fight Apple Suit .")
