Vodafone Confirms Nexus One: Still No Retail

If you do not really mind having to order anything online, then you might have already ordered, shipped and gotten a Google Nexus One smart phone.

On the other hand, most people are not too keen on getting the alleged iPhone killer (well, it failed to live up to the hype so it isn’t) are already planning to put their money aside for the launch of the HTC Desire which is apparently the smart phone which the Nexus was based from (HTC manufactured the Nexus One for Google). Since the two devices are quite similar in terms of specifications, it really makes the decision to settle so much easier.

The Desire and the Nexus One are both using 1GHz Snapdragon CPUs and 5 mega pixel cameras. The screens on both devices are 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen displays with multi touch capabilities.

Anyway, even if Vodafone is offering the device to their customers, the closest they will get you to a Nexus One is by redirecting you online to Google’s store. They will however, provide you with a SIM card for your chosen plan.

Aside from the Nexus One, Vodafone is pretty much up to the brim with big name devices from high end manufacturers. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, HTC Desire and HTC Legend are also coming early in April while the Apple iPad is expected to arrive by late April.

In other Vodafone related news, it turns out that the operator has recently undergone a cost cutting process which saw the closure of 6 stores and the removal of 375 employees due to redundancies. Despite this sad news, the operator is still pushing through with its busiest launches for the year.
