The Motorola Droid sold 250,000 units and T-Mobile's my touch sold 60,000 units in their first week, according Flurry.
Wondering about the Apple iPhone 3GS, by the way? That’s 1.6 million in its first week, according to the study.
With all the "iPhone killer" blabber blasting the internet prior to its release, I guess most people had higher expectations.
Some believe the Nexus One has not sold as much as expected because it has not been a part of the awareness of the greater population.
In comparison, the iPhone has had three generations to build a reputation, the myTouch 3G has had regular advertisements for it and the Motorola Droid has benefited from a $100 million marketing push by Verizon Wireless.
Another factor for the small number of sales I think, is the fact that the Nexus One had given the exclusive to T-Mobile, the smallest major carrier in the U.S., then they could of made other deals with other carriers... When you are the only carrier that exclusively sells a new product, at least blast market it! But it’s only the first week, of course, after the holiday rush to boot. We’ll see what Google plans to do as it rolls out the device for Verizon and Vodaphone in spring 2010.
There have also been a few hiccups along the way. I hope Google takes care of their customer service issues everyone has been complaining about think of sumthin Google! Before it's too late!
