Google Nexus One's First Week of Sales Were Weak, Report says - PC World
Granted, the N1 didn't have the mega marketing campaign the DROID had, but even so, the DROID moved 100,000 units in its first launch weekend. For 20,000 units across a week, utilizing a soft push, there must have been some influence from the high $500+ price tag, and the T-Mo partnership. I think we will see the true value of the phone when it moves to a real network like VZW. But by that time, there will be strong confirmations of other sexier Android phones, namely the Sony X10 and others. The N1 was even outsold by the MyTouch3G compared to its first week.
