Google’s first direct to the customer Android phone, the Nexus One, has had its image tarnished a bit with many users reporting significant 3G woes when using the handset. Both Google and T-Mobile have been investigating the issues.
Google has completed its research into the issue and is laying the blame at the feet of the weak 3G network ran by T-Mobile. A bug was also found in the software of the handset during the investigation and a fix is incoming to address the issue.
The fix is said to be coming as early as next week. The grain of salt with this one is that some users are reporting that a T-Mobile G1 sitting beside the Nexus One can connect while the Nexus can’t. It’s hard to blame a poor network when you have two devices using the same network and only one can’t connect.
Nexus One “coming soon” to Walmart Wireless
Analysts blamed Google’s comparatively lackluster first-week Nexus One sales on the Android 2.1 smartphone only being available through their online store, but all that could be changing. A Walmart Wireless product page for the Nexus One has been spotted, suggesting that the smartphone is “Coming Soon”.
Unfortunately there’s no indication of when “soon” might be, though you can leave your email address and have Walmart Wireless get in touch when the Nexus One is approaching. Although we’ve seen prematurely-posted product pages before, Walmart’s is particularly comprehensive in this case; that’s leading us to believe that this hasn’t been posted in error.
No word on whether the Walmart Wireless Nexus One will be an online-only deal or available in-store – hands-on experience with the smartphone would do a lot to boost its everyday awareness with consumers – but we’re hoping the latter.
