Nexus One: 80,000 Sales In January

Feb 5 2010, 11:56am CST | by Robert Evans

The first report on Nexus One sales showed just 20,000 sold in the first week. Now that all of January is over, we have the device's total first month sales. Flurry Analytics reports (via WSJ) that roughly 80,000 Nexus Ones have been sold since launch. Those are good numbers for a normal smartphone release, but not nearly enough to be competitive with the iPhone or Droid.

However, there is some good news to be seen in these numbers. Nexus One sales haven't been crazy, but they have been very steady. If Google can keep things up at this rate until the Vodafone and Verizon launches in Spring, they could start seeing some very impressive overall numbers come Summer time.

Is the Nexus One a late bloomer, or a dud? Give us your thoughts in the comments.
