Vodafone UK to Directly Offer Google’s Nexus One
Hmm, maybe there is some truth to those rumors about Verizon directly selling the Nexus One after all.
It appears Vodafone will be the first carrier to directly offer Google’s Nexus One. Perusing the Vodafone UK sight we came across this placeholder for the Nexus One. The site allows you sign up for e-mail updates on availability and gives your the rundown on the Nexus One, however, a release date has not been confirmed. Vodafone only says that it’s “Coming soon.”
Could Google be revamping their marketing strategy for the Nexus One based on the downgraded sales forecasts from Goldman Sachs? Initial expectations were high: analysts had said as many as 3.5 million units would be sold in the first year. But with just 80,000 sold in the first month, according to mobile analytic group Flurry, figures have now been revised down to around a million.
What do you think, has Google revamped their sales model? Or is, Vodafone just getting the word out about their launch of the Nexus One?
Vodafone UK has also confirmed they’ll be releasing the HTC Desire, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, and the HTC Legend sometime in April.

Rumor: HTC Legend Headed to Sprint
Boy Genius Report and a host of other Android sites are reporting that the HTC Legend may be headed to Sprint. Here’s what we’ve been able to ascertain from the FCC filings. Yesterday the HTC Legend garnered FCC approval, we see quad band GSM support but no 3G frequencies listed. This means that we don’t know which carrier it’s going to land on.
According to BGR they received word from a source close to HTC that a slightly modified Legend is in fact coming to Sprint. BGR’s source also claims that the HTC Desire will be landing on AT&T some time in May or June. If you recall the HTC Desire is basically the Nexus One running HTC’s Sense UI.
Contrary to what we heard from HTC about the Legend and Desire not coming to the US during the Mobile World Conference, the Legend is in fact headed our way.
