Google launches AT&T 3G compatible Nexus One

Google has launched a new Nexus One version that will support 3G with AT&T in the US, and Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Google launched Nexus One on January 5 with 3G support just for T-mobile network in the US.

The Nexus One is powered by Android 2.1 and retails through Google's online store for $180 with a two-year T-Mobile plan, and $530 without a plan. The AT&T compatible Nexus One is currently not available at a discounted price with a contract.

Sales of Nexus One have been sluggish as compared with game changing smartphones launched in the past.

The Nexus One has reportedly sold just 135,000 units in the 74 days since its launch, according to mobile analytics company Flurry. [via Wired]

In a similar timeframe, Verizon's Droid, which is also powered by Android, sold 1 million units.

Apple's iPhone with 3G support sold 1.6 million units within a week of its launch.

The reasons why Nexus One hasn't done so well include Google's decision to retail it exclusively through its online store and support just the T-mobile network, which isn't the most extensive.

To add to Google's woes, soon after its launch, Nexus One users reported problems connecting to T-Mobile's 3G network. Many were also not happy with its touch screen. The problems were eventually resolved through software upgrades.

Google apparently didn't anticipate serious support issues, because, to start with, it didn't even have a support phone line!
