Is there a reason many of the carriers are slowly dropping support for the Nexus One? Makes you wonder. Sprint have officially announced that they are no longer going to offer the Google Nexus One on their network. I guess this wouldn’t stop Google releasing it themselves, but without the backing of the networks, what’s the point. So the CDMA version of the Google Nexus One appears to have no future.
Engadget go some feedback from Michelle Leff Mermelstein.
When Sprint’s Michelle Leff Mermelstein told us that the company wouldn’t be selling the Nexus One because of the “upcoming availability of the award-winning Evo 4G,” it didn’t change much for your average user. The Evo, like the Incredible, looks at least as enticing as the Nexus One, and even shares a lot of the same hardware. Where it diverges, Sprint says it’s a “more robust, full-featured device,” which, well, it is.
The Nexus One has experienced many teething issues on the T-Mobile GSM network, this I can vouch for personally. HTC and Google have been working hard to resolve the issues and hopefully the next software update does the trick. I have to say that HTC has been working with me and even took my phone back for analysis after I had so many issues, but still no resolution has been found.
What’s next for Google? Is there new business model failing?
What do you think? Should Google offer a Nexus Two ?
