For those of you who haven't seen this. Google could be releasing 5 Nexus phones through 5 different OEMs. Here's the link to read about it.

My first thread was in the Desire section and we got on the topic of the Nexus One not being sold through Google anymore but now its dead all together There's an article on mashable dot com that tells how its all being halted.

It was widely heralded as the first real “Google Phone” and now it will soon be laid out to pasture. If you were hoping to get your hands on the Google Nexus One smartphone, I highly suggest you do it very soon, because Google has placed its final order with HTC for the device. After stock from this shipment is depleted Google will no longer be selling the Nexus One through its official online store. Nada. No more. Kaput. You have plenty of other options in the Android realm, like the HTC Droid Incredible, but the Nexus One holds a special place in cell phone history.
That’s the bad news, but there are two smaller tidbits of good news. First, Google will continue to offer support through its customer service lines. So, if you already have one of these devices in hand, you can still get help when you need it. Second, Google is looking for a way to continue selling the Nexus One through a sales partner, but these sales will be restricted to registered app developers.
I guess you go out and buy just about any other Google Android device offered through your carrier of choice, but those oftentimes contain some carrier-specific doo-dahs. The Nexus One is, as far as we can tell, the only true clean-slate and completely unlocked Android that you can get on a very official basis.

For f**k's sake, stop trolling the panic.
How many topics a day do we need about this?!
FOR THE LAST F*CKING TIME:
Nexus One's ONLY purpose and the SOLE reason for existence was to promote android and show what it can do on a good hardware. They planned to have Nexus 2 to continue pushing android. Since so many companies like HTC/Motorola/Samsung jumped on an Android band-wagon, Google officially stopped Nexus TWO development and slowing down (NOT STOPPED!!!!!!!) Nexus One sales.
As per Google's CEO own words, "NEXUS ONE WAS SO SUCCESSFULL, THAT WE DON'T NEED NEXUS TWO."
If your brain is so tiny that it can't understand that Nexus One was a huge success for what it was intended for, and that Google NEVER intended to make money on phones directly, then I beg you, please go hang out on iPhone forums where you'll find your kin.
Jesus holy Christ.

I sold my Nexus on Craigslist on Friday. Bought a Vibrant Thursday. After holding that phone for 1 second I knew I had to have it. Screen was downright AMAZING! I love what the Nexus gave me but this is the nature of technology and you can lament it or accept it.
They saying shouldn't be "if you've got nothinng nice to say, say nothing at all" it should be "if you're an idiot, stop talking".

DarkDvr may I have another?
Took the words right out of my mouth...
That's good news, if the phone won't be available discounted through carriers, it will remain rare!!!! A true gem!
As long as we're be able to run Gingerbread when it's released it would keep me happy for many more months
Actually you can still buy one, you just have to pay $25 for the developer channel i think.
Many people have been toying with the idea that, the Nexus 4, being a Nexus device, could be riddled with bugs and glitches at the time of release, and thus have only placed a small amount of stock for sale so those issues only stay among a small amount of people.
The guys at Google, instead of testing for hours on end, let the public do so, and then check up on sites, like this one, for issues people have with the phone and thus fix it up. This could explain why the Bumpers are already stocked, but the phones themselves are looking to be released Black Friday, several days after, and this time, with a whole lot more stock as they have to take into account the back orders, as well poor guys like me who missed out.
What are your thoughts on this?
Wouldn't that be unfair to the people who managed to buy it out first? I mean they are essentially paying the same amount for a phone that is supposed to have the kinks sorted out already, not pay to have a phone in beta testing. But I really hope this is the case, and Google not only sorts out these issues but also offers compensation to the early adopters as to make everyone happy and fair!
Tin Foil Hat time for you i think...
Where did you see stocked bumpers?

It's sold out in the US Google Play store...
If that's true then we'll be seeing an update from Google shortly after the second batch go out?
Negative, the nexus one was the trial run.

Doubtful. I just don't think Google anticipated it being quite so popular. Worst of all, they allowed you to purchase up to 5 in one hit, which more then a handful of people did. 1-2 max on launch and up to a week or two after in my opinion. This would have ensured 'a lot' more people actually got a phone and it would have stopped eBay being flooded with N4's by people looking to make a quick buck.
Every nexus phone is trails . We get it test it Google updates other OEM make there phones with the new version. As far are you tin foil hat about a multi billion dollar company not testing I doubt that

How could the 4th generation of anything be a test run?
Tinfoil Hattery abounds in the General forum. It's a conspiracy I tells ya!

We, the public, being beta testers for Google products? Pffft!
No place for this type of speculation on this board. If you have news, tips, tricks, guides, or howtos, feel free to post. This type of stuff is more suited for your blog.

Maybe this is why we're still waiting.

Please follow the news source. This article is just a regurgitation of a CNet article. If you read the CNet article, it's just a summary of the LG France spokescritter's comments from days ago that had already been posted on this forum. Furthermore, it seems that something was lost in translation at CNet, as the spokescritter said that the UK and Germany got 10x more units than France (because they had higher forecasts); the 10x was not a reference to the amount by which Google underestimated.

Closed in favor or the much larger thread. No need to make dozens of threads.

This shows that the nexus line is not only a reference device and or developer device but also a consumer friendly device. I hope Google won't end it or if they do rebrand it instead.
Anyways checkout the video imagine If Google now did this

Well if they do the my dear xda community is to blame. We tell all the noobs "Hey! Go get a Nexus 5. It's hot in the streets right now!" I couldn't remember the last time I saw a Nexus in a phone store in Chicago. So its hard to believe that millions of people made this phone consumer friendly without the help of rooters and developers. This is probably why they had crappy advertising to begin with.
EDIT: Just my opinion....

The Nexus will never be a mainsteam device like Samsung, LG etc. Thank god for that, or we will realy be flooded with noobs breaking their phones and blaming Google and toolkits and posting threads
When I was looking at phones at Sprint, they were like "here's what we got" and I looked and they had several options (G2, GS4, Note 3, HTC One, N5, etc.) and were like "this phone has this, this phone has this" but I didn't feel pressured. But they did point out the N5 was a nice phone.
