If selling the hardware is profitable for Google, I'd guess they'd go all out to make it happen .... which makes me think that Google is subsidizing the Nexus line and hence the inventory problems.
Edit: A corollary would be that T-mobile maybe telling the truth about the $300 discount.
- JVIDEL 14y agoGiven current costs its possible that the N4 is being sold at cost rather than at a loss, but again this is a halo phone meant to show how good Android can be, just like car companies launch halo supercars that are hardly profitable but make the brand stand out more.
- raverbashing 14y agoSimple Google should have Motorola build the hardware. And make sure Motorola doesn't even come close to the SW. Motorola can't and won't make good software, period. HW companies usually are very bad at it, but Motorola is especially bad. See the "we will upgrade, but then we won't". Maybe they should just close the SW division.
