Aside from the tech specs they all get wrong, the *big* news going around is how Google has only sold 80,000 Nexus Ones despite all the "hoopla and hype." They compare this to the sales of Droid and Apple during their first month each.
Not a SINGLE article has mentioned that Google has done ZERO TV/cable advertising, almost no online advertising and that the phone is only sold online at google's (again) not well-advertised phone site.
Personally I think 80,000 phones sold with essentially zero advertising and only T-Mobile signed up for a lower-cost phone is pretty amazing. How much did Apple put behind the iPhone? $200 million? There are estimates that Verizon spent $100 per Droid on advertising (obviously that lowers with every Droid they sell after the ads die down). Google probably spent, what $1 million? Pretty impressive.
