Google stops selling its Nexus One online.

Google had launched aside an online store with their launch of the Nexus One. You could basically pick your phone, your carrier and your plan. But it seems like carriers don't like to loose control, infact, Verizon stopped selling the Nexus One at all and opted for its own Android phone



The phone store idea didn't go as expected. Here's what the software giant had to say in it's blog post :
While the global adoption of the Android platform has exceeded our expectations, the web store has not. It’s remained a niche channel for early adopters, but it’s clear that many customers like a hands-on experience before buying a phone, and they also want a wide range of service plans to chose from.

Although the Nexus One will still be available through carries, the phone store will now just showcase the phones.
