Walmart Canada Selling The Google Nexus One?
The Google Nexus One was the one Android phone that tried to be different. Google worked closely with HTC to manufacture the hardware and they sold it factory unlocked, only through Google’s own website. Having no ties with carriers and running the stock Android firmware also meant this phone got the updates before all other android phones.
While a great concept, sales weren’t so hot and they decided to pull the plug on the online store and try selling it through carriers and retail partners. We haven’t seen anything from the big Canadian carriers or any retailers that i’ve heard of indicating this will ever happen, but there may be another way of buying the beloved Google phone.
My source at Walmart New West here in Vancouver says their store now has 3 brand new Nexus Ones being sold for $650. That’s pretty much the price you paid after all the shipping charges and taxes back when Google sold the phone here. He doesn’t know of any future plans to bring in more stock but if you live around that area, better jump on it before it’s gone!
I’ve already contacted Walmart about this and will let you know if they’re selling these anywhere else.
