Wondering how Google’s Nexus One is performing during its first month in the market?  Well, according to Flurry, Google sold 80,000 units of Nexus One in first month.  That’s a miserably low figure compared to many other smartphones like Apple’s iPhone and Motorola’s DROID.  But if we look at the brighter side, the first month sales figure of Nexus One is 4 times of the first week figure where there rest were just double :)

Was that an experiment from Google to test whether direct web marketing will work for a mobile phone?  Apparently it works for geeks but not the normal consumers.  And Google is moving forward to spend money on TV commercial to gain more awareness of Nexus One.  May be Google should learn from Apple.

I am sure the figure will improve.  Google is doing quite a number of things at the moment, like adding pinch-and-zoom support and working with more operators to subsidize the phone.  And we shall look at the figure again few months later.
