Sad news for those who really loved the Google Android phones, it has been reported that both the Nexus One and the G1 is out of stock by provider, T-Mobile.
Apparently, the last batch of T-Mobile G1 is finished with T-Mobile and for those still waiting to purchase it will be disappointed. The G1 was Google’s first attempt to enter the phone’s market with Android. It was launched two years back and sources claim that the G1 is considered an outdated presence in the market.
We all know that technology is evolving so fast that even a three-month old phone will seem outdated to many. As a matter of fact, Google made the decision to discontinue its Nexus One recently. This proves that Google’s attempt to jump into another market was not well taken by both consumers and providers. No word on whether Google will plan to jump back into the market with yet another mobile.
