The Google Phone is dead: Google decides to stop selling handsets online
Daniel Carey
As the revolt continued many hid in their homes, however this was not the case of Google’s Nexus One. Instead, he chose to stand and fight for better customer service and the rights of all smartphones. Alas his great battle was in vein as he was captured by the Telco’s and carted away for immediate execution.
Announced early this morning Google stated that they’d no longer be selling handsets through their online store. Instead they’ve chosen to partner with carriers to sell the N1 in-store while using its website to promote “Android phones globally.” In their official blog post Google agrees that ultimately customers prefer a “hands-on experience before buying a phone, and they also want a wide range of service plans to choose from.” They go onto say that significant innovation went into creating the Nexus One, but as newer devices found their way to market (EVO 4G and the Droid Incredible) parts of the Nexus One were continually being engulfed. The Google Phone’s no more folks; viva la Google Phone.
