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.

There's a whole new alliance in town and it's formed of twenty four carriers around the world. Called the Wholesale Applications Community, the new organization is supposed to be an alternative to Apple's famous App Store. In other words some of the most powerful mobile operators around the world have joined forces in order to make sure that the App Store won't take over our minds.

Supporting them is the GSMA and handset manufacturers like LG, Sony Ericsson and Samsung and we expect this Wholesale Applications Community formed at MWC to bring us only good things.

The folks over at T-Mobile seem really interested into dumping their current original myTouch 3G stock. And they're prepared to hack and slash prices for you but contracts are still required. The myTouch 3G Android-running handset made by HTC will be available for $99.99 with a 2-year new contract from T-Mo.

Starting tomorrow you'll be able to take advantage of the new price which is $50 cheaper than before. It's definitely a great price to pay for the phone but at the same time you could be a lot more interested in some of the upcoming Android devices as it looks like 2010 will have plenty of such smartphones to offer.
