Google is discontinuing its Nexus One mobile phone following receipt of its final order from the phone's manufacturer, HTC.

According to one report, in the same period it took Apple to sell one million iPhones, Google only sold 135,000 Android-powered Nexus.

“This week we received our last shipment of Nexus One phones,” said Google. “Once we sell these devices, the Nexus One will no longer be available online from Google. Customer support will still be available for current Nexus One customers.

Google says that the Nexus One will continue to be sold by partners including Vodafone in Europe, KT in Korea, and “possibly others based on local market conditions”.

“To ensure our developers have access to a phone with the latest Android OS, Google will be offering the Nexus One through a partner for sale to registered developers,” it added.
