Google Nexus One to Become Best Android Phone Sold This Year

While the Google Nexus One failed to get an acclaimed, flawless launch, it is still going to be one of the most important phones of 2010. Google together with T-Mobile will surely make the most of it as both companies crave more attention from the mobile business.
And according to analysts the Nexus One will sell quite well in 2010. They estimate that Google will sell 5 to 6 million handsets this year which means that up to 500,000 units should be sold every month in order to reach that quota. Does that make the Google Nexus One the best sold Android phone of 2010? Well I guess that’s hardly going to be possible.
First of all a more famous Android phone is already in stores in the USA and various other countries around the world. The Motorola Droid is expected to sell very well in 2010 too. According to analysts, Motorola will sell somewhere around 13 million units which means that for every Google handset sold Motorola will sell two Droids.
Then there’s always the competition to inspect. Apple is projected to sell 36 million phones this year which means that every month Apple is expected to move an average of 3 million iPhones. Let’s not forget that at some point in July Cupertino will launch the fourth-generation iPhone which could convince even more people to get one.
We’ll be focusing on those numbers in a couple of months to see how these companies will perform. After all right now we are only talking about analysts’ predictions and we all know that these predictions could go wrong from time to time.
Nevertheless two things are shaping up from their conclusions! The iPhone will outsell Android handsets in 2010, which is something I could have told you, but the second, most interesting thing is that Google will manage to sell quite a few of its own handsets. Therefore a Google Nexus Two or Three could become even a more important player in the mobile business in the years to come.
In the mean time Microsoft and Nokia will watch from the sidelines as Apple, Google, RIM and maybe Palm will dominate the smartphone business. Unless Windows Mobile 7 and a totally new Symbian OS are going to arrive earlier than expected, of course!
