Initial Sales of Original iPhone, Droid, and Nexus One Compared

Google screwed Motorola and other companies when they decided to market and sell the Nexus One.

If I were the CEO of Motorola, Samsung, Sony, etc. I'd think about putting Windows 7 on our cell phones instead of the Android.


Google will do evil things like censor free speech (in China) or screw partners if they think they can earn more money.
 
 
Oh this will be good ripping apart your failure since I said Smart phone Bogo on AT&T

Again wrong company so FAILURE number 4.


Sad you counter argument in posting links was 4 complete swings and a miss.
 
Yes, a $199 phone barely beat a $600 phone. Big accomplishment! LOL.

The $199 iPhone 3G sold 1 million phones in THREE DAYS. And so did the 3GS.:D:D:D:apple::apple::apple::apple:

Ah, and there's the rub :). The internet doesn't offer actual privacy (i.e. Google knows exactly who you are based in your IP address and ISP). Certainly one would assume that the internet would offer privacy with regards to ISP's not giving out your personal information, BUT who is to state that they don't? Or that Google doesn't already have your information? They're selling it, and giving it to other companies. How else do they know who you are, what you read, where you shop, what you like, what you eat, etc? It's all part of the corporate game, everything is for sale, and everything has a price. Welcome to the New World. :D
 
YOU KNOW WHAT? I have the iPhone and the Droid. For some reason I use a lot Droid. the iPhone is prettier and stylish but droid helps me to get the work done. (I work for communications so maybe there are some apps that fit my needs that the iPhone don't) but to be honest Droid is a good choice for people who needs to work and use their phone as a mini netbook. the iPhone is great also and I like it more (the looks) IMHO Droid is getting near. I love :apple:

can't do that as it didn't happen. Droid had lower price point, the end. Apple could have changed their price point and they didn't end of story. enough with the "if apple had.....or if Google had....."

Sure you can compare. 3G/3GS sold at $199 and hit a million sales in 2-4 days. The original iPhone had more hype because it was the original. It could have EASILY outsold the Droid's 74 days within a week if it sold anywhere near the Droid's price. Like i said, another "iPhone killer" dead. Next up? The Microsoft/Google Android 7 Fail.
 
Again you failed to meet the requirement. A BOGO on Smart phones from AT&T

Please come back when you can meet what I originally requested instead of trying to discredited me by posted bogus links.
Your first one was a list of links BOGO from other companies other than AT&T.
This one is full of links to non smartphones.

Your ignorance of an event doesn't mean it never occurred.. AT&T has done lots of BOGOs.

None of the AT&T deals listed are even BOGO. So this one is a yet another failure making that 8 now.

The Impression, Xenon and Vu may not be too smart, but they are considered smartphones. And try reading the last cite again, very slowly and carefully, for comprehension. All are smartphones:


"AT&T Holiday Specials:

BOGO (Buy One, Get One) deals with 2-year agreement and appropriate data plan on these four devices:

Samsung Mythic - $149.99 - touch screen

Samsung Impression - $129.99 - touch screen

Samsung Flight - $69.99 - touch screen

Samsung Solstice - $49.99

The BOGO offers start Thanksgiving week and are good through 12/25."

You are bending the rules of Smart phones. They are not considered a Smart Phone. Hell go to AT&T web site and look at smart phones. Guess what NONE. That is RIGHT NONE of them come up.

Now lets see one of them is a site that list advertisemetn for all the cell phone companies and AT&T did not have a singal BOGO on them.

The others 2 are forums so you got a random comment from a user who called it a smart phone (does not count)

And the last the term smart phone came from the review/ comment section of a product. Again not valid.

Since you clearly can not understand what a smart phone is. here is a link to AT&T smart phones http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...rtFilter=false&typcat1003=cat1003&allManus=on

hey kdarling what's up with the Nexus One's touch screen? :D
Click to expand...

Not being an Android user, I haven't paid much attention. Let me read some other articles first...

Okay, it doesn't sound like hardware per se (raw touchscreens are simple) but the touchscreen controller firmware is most likely at fault... and that might not be fixable in situ.

From their descriptions, it sounds like initial and continuous state data are not being handled correctly, or are being stepped on, or maybe direction sign info is goofed. In other words, something creates bad state info, causing calibration and coordinate sequencing mistakes. That's what I'd look at first, but I'm sure Google and HTC and the touchscreen firmware maker are all on the case.

The article you quoted said their review unit had not had any such problems, so it could be isolated to a certain firmware revision or usage scenario.

At least all the articles note that Google has said they'll either send out a software update or replace units as needed.

Sounds like Google is publicly taking responsibility for a fix. That's better than some other companies who tend to sweep problems under the rug.
 
oh by the way:


Google loses Nexus One trademark to Portland-based Integra Telecom

Google's bid for a trademark on its Nexus One smartphone has been denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which concluded last week that the name is too similar to a trademark held by Portland-based Integra Telecom.

Learn from Apple? ;)

Apple to rename Rendezvous as part of copyright deal
updated 03:30 pm EST, Fri February 18, 2005

In the coming months, Apple will change the name of its Rendezvous networking
technology to "[Bonjour]" according to documents shown to AppleInsider.

Last year, Tibco Software entered into a trademark dispute with Apple over its
use of the Rendezvous name, alleging that the Apple technology, used in products
such as Mac OS X and the iTunes Music Store, infringed on its exclusive rights
to the Rendezvous name.

In July 2004, the two companies agreed to end the dispute through a mutual out
of court settlement. Sources close to the negotiations said that, as part of
the deal, Apple agreed to phase out its use of the "Rendezvous" name in time.

...and the profound conclusion is that one can fit more peanuts than apples in any given box. :D
