Although Google launched the Nexus One with grand plans to radically change the way consumers purchased phones and service, it looks like the experiment has fizzled to an end -- the company just announced that will eventually stop selling handsets online and instead promote "a variety of Android phones available globally." Google says customers simply want a hands-on experience before buying a phone, but we'd say the lack of subsidies from any carrier except T-Mobile probably played a part here -- and of course, both Verizon and Sprint essentially refused the N1 in favor of bespoke versions in the Incredible and EVO 4G. We'd say that Android as a whole will remain unaffected, since the Nexus One was never a huge seller, but it's still rare that a company simply gives up a business model like this. The Google Phone is dead, long live the Google Phone.
