Nexus One not coming to Verizon Wireless.

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 at 12:18PM

Google updated its phone sales site yesterday and apparently the Nexus One is not coming to Verizon Wireless. The webpage suggest for Verizon subscribers to get the HTC Droid Incredible instead. Since the HTC Droid Incredible has a lot of the same features as the Nexus One. I just feel sorry for all the Verizon subscribers who held out waiting for the Nexus One just to be disappointed that it’s not coming out. Below is the official statement from Google:

We won't be selling a Nexus One with Verizon, and this is a reflection of the amazing innovation happening across the open Android ecosystem. Verizon Wireless customers who want an Android phone with the power of the Nexus One can get the Droid Incredible by HTC.

I know Sprint has announced in a press release that the Nexus One is coming to their network. I just hope the same thing doesn’t happen to Sprint subscribers when the HTC Evo 4G becomes available. And between this and the 3G connectivity issues of the T-Mobile version of the Nexus One, it seems like Google could have put a little bit more thought into the Nexus One as far as test the device & marketing it. Since the handset has only sold 135,000 units so far. I guess that this show’s Google that people are not ready to buy a phone with out seeing it first.

Nexus One users still complaining about issues with the handset

Friday, April 9, 2010 at 3:58PM

Seems like owners of the Nexus One are still complaining to Google about issues with the handset. Now everyone already knows about the 3G issues the Nexus One has with T-Mobile’s 3G network. But the owners are complaining about a lot more issues then just 3G connectivity. Below is a list of the issues with the Nexus One on Google's Support forums.

1) 3G-connectivity issue

2) Touch Screen unresponsiveness/sensing incorrect input

3) Unresponsive trackball

4) WIFI connectivity issue

5) Lock button response issue

6) Proximity sensor sensitivity issue

7) Ambient light sensor issue

8)Bluetooth issues: fails to operate; inadequate volume; intermittent failure to accept commands

9) Speaker: horrible sound quality

10) Ringer: insufficient volume

11) Earpiece: insufficient volume

12) Headset connector: headphones cord activates pause or other functions

13) Manufacturer says phone cannot go in pocket

14) Phone mutes when calling people and can only be unmuted by turning mute on then off!

15) Missed call notification trackball does not flash

That’s a lot of complaints I hope Google can resolve some of the issues especially the 3G & Wi-Fi issues, which is what’s keeping me from buying a Nexus One. So tell me have you had any of the issues listed with your Nexus One?
