In case you were not aware of it, Google has filed for the trademark acquisition of "Nexus One" on December 10, 2009 but unfortunately for the Mountain View based company did not receive the go ahead for said trademark.
Why you ask? Well it looks like Nexus has been already trademarked in 2008 by Integra Telecom which means that Google won't, at least for now, be getting the Nexus trademark they want. Here's basically why the trademark has been refused:

We've already talked about the first Windows Phone 7 Series handsets and so far we know that Samsung, Asus and LG all have at least one working prototype running Microsoft latest OS.
But today we have for you a totally new LG Windows Phone 7 handset and this one is a beauty. In fact it might just be the best LG phone created so far if only it were real. The device has been conveniently "leaked" only to be removed from Neowin later on. That's certainly more than strange, wouldn't you agree?

Google might not have sold that many Google Nexus One units in the past two months and a half and it might never will particularly since its partner, HTC, rolled a very hot and very much similar smartphone to the Nexus One at MWC 2010. I am talking about the HTC Desire which is coming to various carriers later this year.
We have looked at the device extensively here at MobileTopSoft, but now we spotted a different color of the Desire which could suggest that the Android smartphone could be heading to AT&T at some point in the future.

Here's some news for everyone, the Google Nexus One is making its way to Sprint later in the year, not only that but Verizon is poised to be making a similar announcement so everyone has always been perving at Google sex-machine, this is time to pick one up on the cheap along with a 2 or 3yr contract of course.
No here's the thing, you'll still be required to buy the phone from Google themselves, the Nexus One will not be sold in stores just strictly online, I guess we now know why after 74 days Google only sold 135,000 of these bad boys, or it could be because the phone was never available for the likes of Sprint and Verizon which are larger networks compared to T-Mobile.
Not really surprising here, Google only sold 135,000 Nexus Ones in the first 74 days since the handset went on sale, but don't jump to conclusions now and talk about how much the handset has flopped, far from it. The research done by Mobile search firm Flurry, has shown how pathetic the Google Nexus One sales were in its first 74 days compared to the iPhone and Motorola DROID. The DROID surprisingly came out on top with 1.5 million sales, Apple iPhone played second with 1 million and Google's little baby at the meager number of 135,000.
Now, lets see why the Google Nexus One appears to be a complete flop, first off, the DROID was pushed with a $100 million marketing campaign by Verizon, the Apple iPhone had the Apple branding behind it and at the time, it was the hottest thing on the market, the one phone that changed the whole industry to what it is today. Google's little toy? Really good phone but it didn't get the marketing push it deserves, the phone is only available online at Google's Store and launched out on T-Mobile which is one of the smaller networks in the U.S. Then we have to take into consideration one more thing, how many consumers out there would actually buy a phone without testing it out? One cannot do that with the Nexus One unless you're lucky.
Microsoft MIX10 brought us three Windows Phone 7 handsets too. They were made by Asus, LG and Samsung, While we've already seen the LG Panther a couple of weeks ago and while the Asus concept phone might just be a simple prototype, the Samsung handset shown running Windows Phone 7 definitely looks good.
It looks so good in fact that is similar to the Samsung i8910 HD. Are we to assume that the i8910 HD has been upgraded to Windows Phone 7? Why should it receive special treatment when we know for a fact that the HTC HD2 will not get Windows Phone 7 since it doesn't measure up to Redmond new mobile standards.

I for one hate all the different User Interfaces available out there for Android, I believe users should have a choice to choose whether or not they want to use anything different from the default Android UI. If I buy an HTC Hero, it should have an option at start up that asks me if I want to use the Sense UI or not, if I choose to use the Sense UI then the option must be there for me to remove it, plain and damn simple. This is why I am leaning towards Windows Phone Series 7 here, no matter, the UI will be the same on all devices as it should be.
Ok, so rumors are popping up like popcorns around the interwebs regarding the Google Nexus One, and HTC Sense UI, apparently Verizon will be stocking the device but their version will differentiate itself by incorporating the Sense UI, right away we have two different versions of the same phone, someone who owns the original would most likely need to learn the UI all over again if they choose to jump on the Verizon ship. One should be able to jump from any number of Android based handsets and get right in without tinkering with the different UIs, this is BS and Google need to take some of the power from manufactures like Microsoft did.
