First Google killed the HTC Nexus One, then resurrected it for developers, and now the phone is just plain-old out of stock. In a quick blog post today, Google wrote:
A couple of weeks ago, we arranged that registered developers could buy an unlocked Nexus One via their publisher page in Android Market. We think it’s a good development platform and a nice phone. Apparently, you agree. Somewhat too many of you, in fact; we blew through the (substantial) initial inventory in almost no time, and they’re back-ordered from HTC, who are doing a pretty good job of managing runaway success amid a worldwide AMOLED shortage. Everyone appreciates that it’s important to the platform to get phones in the hands of developers, so we’re working hard on re-stocking the shelves; stand by.
If you have a Nexus One, hold it close. If you yearn for a Nexus One… absence makes the heart grow fonder. No?
