Google Phone Store Won’t be Selling Phones Anymore


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.
