Nexus One too ambitious says Google’s Andy Rubin

Even the head of Google described their launching of the Nexus One was that the company “bit off a little more than we could chew.”  Google never launched the phone in stores, but only allowed buyers to purchase on the Web.  Rubin discussed some of the reasons on what the sales issues with the Nexus One:  scale.  For every operator the phone worked with, they had to set up phone numbers and perform credit checks.  There are over 150 carriers worldwide, so it ended up being a much larger process than anticipated.

The Nexus One wasn’t a complete failure, however.  There was a lot of hype and since it was Google’s first phone for their Android OS, it brought more light to the OS.  It also brings Google’s next phone venture, the Nexus S, which will be released in the next few weeks with much anticipation.
