The problem with the Nexus One is I think most people don't fully understand what they are truly buying unless they are somewhat tech savvy. When someone hears "iPhone" they think of Apps and the software. Android, well other than the key words "Google Phone" I don't think the Nexus One really strikes a cord with people. They may be able to understand that it is faster than most of the other phones out there on the market right now but I'll honestly say that my TP2 and others like the iPhone 3GS's have enough processing power to suffice the common smart phone user.
I'd take a guess and say everyone is just seeing the Nexus One as something that's bigger, better, faster, stronger! You know, the common mentality that newer is better and they aren't recognizing that the Nexus One is a big leap forward in mobile computing technology. That 1GHz snapdragon is a beast of a processor and wipes the floor with my Qualcomm 7600.

To prove my point, here's an Wired post about how disappointing Nexus One sales really are.
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/nexus-one-sales/

This is THE MOST, if not second to the HD2, impressive hardware form factor of any cell phone out there right now. Even though Google gave the Nexus One top spot on www.google.com, an honor only shared by that of Google's Chrome browser, the sales for the product sucked!

I think Google might need to nerd out on its consumers here and proudly boast that 1GHz processor in comparison to other mobile smart phones out there.

EDIT: One last thing that I forgot, I was reading on Engadget earlier today and noticed a post about the HTC Super Sonic (1.5GHz) and 4G. Personally, I'm in love. The topic talks about Sprint unveiling WiMax next week at CTIA. The phone scheduled release is that of this summer. So maybe THIS will be the first WinMo 6.5 device to upgrade to WP7S seeing as 7S comes out later in the year.

The only thing this phone needs is a keyboard and I'm sold. Until then I'll just continue dreaming about running my entire household's internet off my cell phone. <3
Nexus one sales did horrible but Android sales did amazing. So what does that tell you, people don't NEED a super high end phone to be great. Ppcgeeks will want the nexus one because of course we know about snapdragon processors and so forth, but the average user isn't a ppcgeek, sorry to break the news to you. So if you expect the average person that goes to sprint and demands replacements when their phone breaks or you actually want to see your phone before you buy it, then guess what you won't buy a nexus. Nexus has google support only phones that are having issues will not be delt with by the carrier. All of these things factor in, come on man you can't have that long as rant without thinking about the situation first. Like you said the hd2 you can or will be able to walk into the store and play with it and actually see it before buying. Most people will never see an N1 unless they run into someone with it so expecting them to sell as many iphones is retarded. Look at android as a whole not just the n1, this is not iphone where they have only 1 phone, they have mulitple.
