Peter Chou, HTC’s CEO, introduced the Nexus One, January 5 last.

Google copying Apple’s revenue to maintain the buzz and curiosity.

The French had to wait for next March to buy the mobile phone multifunction Google called “Nexus One”. This smartphone supposed to compete with Apple’s iPhone is already on sale for several days on two websites.
Since January 28, merchant sites Phoneandphone.com and meilleurmobile.com distribute both the Nexus One. Without subscription, the phone is sold for 599 euros on the first site to 589 euros in the second. Coupled with a package, its price is more affordable: Phoneandphone proposed to 189 euros with a package NRJ Mobile and MeilleurMobile to 219 euros with a subscription Bouygues Telecom.
“We are aware that these sites sell the Nexus One, simply said a spokeswoman for Google France, adding that the group had not yet chosen a local mobile operator. In January, a source close to the matter stated however that SFR would be the first to market through a link set up on the Google site.

“Preview”
This “preview” on the Web recalls the arrival of iPhone in 2007. The motive of Apple, which has scrambled the use of mobile Internet, had also been sold online before being officially launched by Orange a few months later.
Google launch his orchestra the same way. Although the buzz around the Nexus One is not as strong as with the iPhone, Google maintains the rarity of its Nexus One, marketed in the United States and Great Britain in the first place.
After the first week, “sales are equivalent to those we made when we launched a preview of the iPhone,” said Warren Barthes, CEO Phone and Phone. The group intends to create the “buzz” via an advertising campaign next week with posters in subways and press inserts.
