Google close to ending Nexus One sales online

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 17 Jul 2010 2:52

Google close to ending Nexus One sales online Google has announced that HTC has shipped the last batch of Nexus One superphones, meaning the phone has reached the end of its lifespan once Google sells the remaining stock.
"Once we sell these devices, the Nexus One will no longer be available online from Google," adds the search giant.

Due to lack of interest, the company will move sales from online to some brick-and-mortar retailers. A few of these locations are Vodafone stores in Western Europe, I Wireless in the U.S. and KT store in Korea.

Developers would still be able to access the phone through a "partner," although it is unclear who.

The Google Nexus One is one of the few phones to officially receive the Android 2.2 Froyo update.



Google offered the device for $530 unlocked or $180 with contract through T-Mobile.
