Despite somewhat sluggish initial sales of Google’s Nexus One phone, HTC CEO Peter Chou is calling it a success.
According to a story on Forbes.com, Chou said the phone was a technical achievement based on its design and that lived up to Google’s goal of showing how good Android could be.
He declined to comment specific sales figures, but said that, “Considering Google didn’t do retail or marketing for it, the Nexus One is doing pretty well.”
Mobile analytics firm Flurry estimates that the Nexus One sold roughly 135,000 units since its launch on January 5th. This figure disappointed folks on Wall Street, but when you consider that it’s only sold on-line, and compare it to say, Palm, who sold 408,000 phones (in retail stores, with heavier marketing) last quarter, it’s pretty damn impressive.
Overall, 60,000 Android phones are selling per day, making it the fastest growing mobile platform out there.
