@Economister Good question! I think if the Nexus One had been in brick and mortar stores rather than sold solely online they might have had more sales - I like to be able to interact physically with the device before I buy it and with the sales paradigm they used with the Nexus One I was unable to do that... I wonder how many others who would have potentially purchased the Nexus One didn't due to not being able to physically interact with one?
It did help quite a bit to promote the Android platform.
