Google promises their phones work with any network carrier, but then doesn’t equip them to work on Tmobile’s 3G network and AT&T’s. As soon as they do that I will buy one.

Also because Apple at the time of iPhone launch had/has a massive hardware reputation and following, so most had a general idea of what they were getting. Google, while a great company with their online products has no hw footprint in the current phone market.

I think it’s because Google didn’t announce the Phone before they sold it, if they did that, it would’ve been sold more I guess

And if they would sell it in more countrys they would have more consumers(like me)
If you take the countrys into credit Droid has higher sells than the IPhone!

12 times less is not a smaller number. Do the maths. Multiply anything by 12 and it will be more. Write an expression to support your statement. You can’t.

You want to divide by 12 not multiply. Then we have nice simple maths like (Droids sold in week one)/12 = (Nexus Ones sold in week one).

In simple English, your sentence could be written correctly as: According to the data compiled by Flurry that figure is one twelfth of the Motorola Droid (250,000 first week sales), and one eightieth of the iPhone 3GS at 1.6 million first week sales.

Or if you can’t cope with fractions, just turn the numbers around: According to the data compiled by Flurry the Motorola Droid sold 12 times more (250,000 first week sales), and the iPhone 3GS at 1.6 million sold 80 times more in the first week sales.

I hope that helps.
