Vodafone delays the launch of Nexus One (UK)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: The planned release of a contract version of the HTC-manufactured Nexus One smartphone on Vodafone has been delayed till the middle of next month, due to unknown reasons.

While the Android-based handset can be easily availed from Google for around £360, what potentially is adding to both delays and cost in the form of import tax and VAT, is the availability of unlocked contract-free version from the USA.

Earlier it was planned that handset will be made available on various Vodafone contracts starting at £35 per month. No explanations regarding the delay have been made by the company despite the fact that by releasing the Nexus One in April, it will clash with HTC Legend, another HTC-manufactured Android-based smartphone.
